`The result is a clear, carefully worded and pedagogically satisfactory text, which is practically self-contained for a reader with a basic knowledge of statistical and fluid mechanics. ....Balucani and Zoppi have produced a competent and clearly written text...' Jean-Pierre Hansen, Oxford University, UK, Physics World, May 1995
`...the book is a useful addition to the specialized literature, offering a comprehensive and diligent account of a limited area of research, at its current level of development. It should be useful to beginners for complementary reading after broader introductions to the liquid state of matter.' Libri Ricevuti E Recensioni, 1996
Product Description
This book details the physical concepts and theoretical approaches developed to study the dynamical properties of high-density fluids at the microscopic level. After an incisive discussion of basic dynamical phenomena and various experimental probes, the book introduces the sophisticated theoretical techniques necessary for obtaining an in-depth account of both single particle and collective motions. Potential complications are addressed in a stepwise fashion, with special attention paid to the physical contents of the results. Well-written and comprehensive, Dynamics of the Liquid State will be welcomed by students and researchers in condensed matter physics and physical chemistry.
