Description for Soft Matter Physics
Hardback. The study of 'soft matter' materials with complex properties has raised a number of interesting problems in basic physics, biology, and materials science, all of which promise various technological applications. This book begins with a discussion of chemical bonds, interactions between particles, and the resulting molecular arrangements. Series: Partially Ordered Systems. Num Pages: 637 pages, 219 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHF. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 36. Weight in Grams: 1280.
Introductions to solid state physics have, ever since the initial book by F. Seitz in 1940, concentrated on simple crystals, with few atoms per cell, bonded together by strong ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds. References to weaker bonds, such as van der Waals forces in rare gases, or to geometric or chemical disorder (e.g., alloys or glasses) have been limited. The physical understanding of this ?eld started well before Seitz’s book and led to a number of Nobel prizes after the last war. Applications cover classical metallurgy, el- tronics, geology and building materials, as well as electrical and ionic transport, ... Read more

Reviews for Soft Matter Physics
From the reviews: "This book is an attempt to show the unity of soft matter systems. … It is noteworthy that the authors have emphasized and discussed in detail that the order parameter has two characteristics: an amplitude and a phase (also called a degeneracy parameter). … This book gives the conceptual means to classify ...
