Description and Table of Contents

Description

The 51st session of the Les Houches Summer School of Theoretical physics was devoted to the important recent theoretical and experimental developments in the physics and chemistry of the liquid state and its transition towards crystalline (freezing) and amorphous (glass transition) solid states. Part I contains the more basic lecture courses while the second part deals with applications to specific systems and phenomena or techniques and contains the invited seminars. The two volumes together contain the first complete review of some of the most important recent advances, including the statistical mechanics of liquid crystal models, of the kinetic glass transition, of colloidal suspensions and of quantum processes in liquids.

Table of Contents

Part I: 1. The structure of simple liquids (I. McDonald). 2. Statistical mechanics of cellular automata fluids (M.H. Ernst). 3. Crystallization of liquids: a density functional approach (D. Oxtoby). 4. Theory of quantum processes in liquids (D. Chandler). 5. Aspects of structural glass transitions (W. Gotze). Part II: 6. Interfacial phenomena (B. Widom). 7. Molecular motion in liquids (P.A. Madden). 8. Neutron scattering and collective dynamics in liquids and glass (F. Mezei). 9. Statistical mechanics of liquid crystals (D. Frenkel). 10. Colloidal suspensions (P.N. Pusey). Seminars: 1. Computer simulation of equilibrium nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (G. Ciccotti). 2. Neutron scattering investigation of the structure of disordered materials (P. Chieux). 3. The physics of liquid and amorphous water (J. Teixeira). 4.
