Description for Energy Landscapes, Inherent Structures, and Condensed-Matter Phenomena
Hardback. Num Pages: 528 pages, 125 line illus. 32 tables. BIC Classification: PHFC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 189 x 262 x 39. Weight in Grams: 1252.
This book presents an authoritative and in-depth treatment of potential energy landscape theory, a powerful analytical approach to describing the atomic and molecular interactions in condensed-matter phenomena. Drawing on the latest developments in the computational modeling of many-body systems, Frank Stillinger applies this approach to a diverse range of substances and systems, including crystals, liquids, glasses and other amorphous solids, polymers, and solvent-suspended biomolecules. Stillinger focuses on the topography of the multidimensional potential energy hypersurface created when a large number of atoms or molecules simultaneously interact with one another. He explains how the complex landscape topography separates uniquely into ... Read more

Reviews for Energy Landscapes, Inherent Structures, and Condensed-Matter Phenomena
Stillinger provides a formalism for describing energy landscapes along with many examples of how this formalism may be used to understand the energetics of condensed-matter phenomena. His presentation will be of significant value to junior scientists, including beginning graduate students, as well as senior researchers. The book is a pleasure to read, with many interesting insights and discussions. -Paul Whitford, ... Read more
