| Description: |
The physics of glassy materials and disordered solids presents a challenging area of study. This book provides an introduction to important concepts, such as percolation, fractals, spin glasses, and glasses. It is useful for researchers on amorphous materials, and is also intended for theorists and experimentalists. |
| Synopsis: |
The physics of glassy materials and disordered solids presents students with an area of study much more challenging than the physics of crystalline solids. Written by two recognized experts in the field, this highly readable book tackles the subject with the student firmly in mind, beginning with a pedagogical introduction to important concepts, such as percolation, fractals, spin glasses, and glasses. Making use of these concepts, the authors show that such systems share many common aspects that can be described within the framework of statistical mechanics. The book is also an essential standard text for researchers on amorphous materials, equally accessible for theorists and experimentalists. |
