Download or read book Lectures On Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics - Proceedings Of The Xxiii Winter Meeting On Statistical Physics written by M Costas and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994-12-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with topics of contemporary interest covering both experimental results and theoretical considerations. Different aspects of the physics and chemistry of the vitreous state are discussed in a series of three lectures by internationally respected researchers on the statistical physics of glasses.A wide range of topics in statistical physics such as critical behaviour, computer simulations of colloid aggregation, kinetic theory of tunneling diffusion, normal mode analysis of liquids and neutron scattering in C60 are also covered. This book provides a useful survey and will be of interest to researchers.
