This modern and fascinating branch of  condensed matter physics is presented from three complementary  viewpoints. The first section, written by experimentalists, emphasises  the observation of basic phenomena (by light scattering, for example).  The second section, written by theoreticians, focuses on the necessary  theoretical tools (density functional theory, path integrals, free  energy expansions). The third section is devoted to the results of  modern simulation techniques (Gibbs ensemble, free energy  calculations, configurational bias Monte Carlo). The interplay between  the disciplines is clearly illustrated. \u003cbr\u003e  For all those interested in modern research in equilibrium statistical  mechanics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792334392\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0065-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 664\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311659077772,"sku":"9780792334392","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792334392.jpg?v=1771510007","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792334392","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
