This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of
amorphous solids and related disordered condensed matter systems.
Important concepts from statistical mechanics such as percolation,
random walks, fractals and spin glasses are explained. Using these
concepts, the common aspects of these systems are emphasized, and the
current understanding of the glass transition and the structure of
glasses are concisely reviewed. This second edition includes new
material on emerging topics in the field of disordered systems such as
gels, driven systems, dynamical heterogeneities, growing length scales
etc. as well as an update of the literature in this rapidly developing
field.
Contents:
- Structure and Dynamics of Disordered Matter
- Models of Disordered Structures
- General Concepts and Physical Properties of
Disordered Matter
- Supercooled Liquids and the Glass Transition
- Further Models for Glassy Dynamics; Dynamical
Heterogeneities; Gels; Driven Systems
