Series on Directions in Condensed Matter Physics - Vol. 1
DIRECTIONS IN CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS
Memorial Volume in Honor of Shang-Keng Ma
edited by G Grinstein (IBM) & G Mazenko (Chicago)
This volume collects several in-depth articles giving lucid discussions on new developments in statistical and condensed matter physics. Many, though not all, contributors had been in touch with the late S-K Ma. Written by some of the world's experts and originators of new ideas in the field, this book is a must for all researchers in theoretical physics. Most of the articles should be accessible to diligent graduate students and experienced readers will gain from the wealth of materials contained herein.
Contents:
- Percolation (A Aharony)
- Complex Analytic Methods for
Viscous Flows in Two Dimensions (D Bensimon et al.)
- Pattern Recognition by Flexible Coils (P G de Gennes)
- Physics of Mesoscopic Systems (Y Imry)
- Models of Pattern Formation in First-Order Phase Transitions (J S Langer)
- Quantum mechanics at the Macroscopic Level (A J Leggett)
Readership: Condensed matter physicists, material scientists and
electrical engineers.
"A stimulating collection of pedagogic reviews in his memory which will be of value to new research students in this field."
