Description
This book presents some of the most exciting recent work on supercooled liquids. Topics include domain models of supercooled liquids, inhomogeneity and polymorphism, and Mode-Coupling Theory and its applications. It provides in-depth coverage of supercooled water and of the connections between supercooled liquids and the conformational dynamics of proteins. The introduction includes a detailed discussion of terminology, major problems, and leading theoretical and experimental approaches.
