With contributions from 24 global experts in diverse fields, and
edited by world-recognized leaders in physical chemistry, chemical
physics and biophysics, Structural Glasses and Supercooled
Liquids: Theory, Experiment, and Applications presents a
modern, complete survey of glassy phenomena in many systems based
on firmly established characteristics of the underlying molecular
motions as deduced by first principle theoretical calculations, or
with direct/single-molecule experimental techniques. A well-rounded
view of a variety of disordered systems where cooperative
phenomena, which are epitomized by supercooled liquids, take place
is provided. These systems include structural glasses and
supercooled liquids, polymers, complex liquids, protein
conformational dynamics, and strongly interacting electron systems
with quenched/self-generated disorder.
Detailed calculations and reasoned arguments closely
corresponding with experimental data are included, making the book
accessible to an educated non-expert reader.
