Description and Table of Contents

Volume

v. 14 ISBN 9780122203145

Description

This is a graduate-level publication dealing with interfacial phenomena - the behaviour of interfaces in ordered and disordered systems, the scaling properties of interfaces, solid models of interfaces and wetting.

Volume

v. 15 ISBN 9780122203152

Description

The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. As the ideas and techniques of critical phenomena have found new areas of application, the field has moved on from being of specialist interest, to occupy a central place in condensed matter studies. This text is part of a series which provides review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field and for graduate students and others wishing to obtain reliable information in important recent developments.

Table of Contents

• Spatially modulated structures in systems with competing interactions, W. Selke
• large-n-limit in statistical mechanics and spectral theory of disordered systems, J.L. Lebowitz

Volume

v. 18 ISBN 9780122203183

Description

The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. No longer an area of specialist interest, it has acquired a central focus in condensed matter studies. The major aim of this serial is to provide review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field, and for graduate students and others wishing to obtain reliable information on important recent developments.The two review articles in this volume complement each other in a remarkable way. Both deal with what might be called the modern geometricapproach to the properties of macroscopic systems. The first article by Georgii (et al.) describes how recent advances in the application ofgeometric ideas leads to a better understanding of pure phases and phase transitions in equilibrium systems. The second article by Alava (et al.)deals with geometrical aspects of multi-body systems in a hands-on way, going beyond abstract theory to obtain practical answers. Thecombination of computers and geometrical ideas described in this volume will doubtless play a major role in the development of statisticalmechanics in the twenty-first century.

Description

The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. It has moved into a central place in condensed matter studies.Statistical physics, and more specifically, the theory of transitions between states of matter, more or less defines what we know about 'everyday' matter and its transformations.The major aim of this serial is to provide review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field, and for graduate students and others wishing to obtain reliable information on important recent developments.
