Supercooled Liquids: Advances and Novel Applications (ACS Symposium Series, No. 676)

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.
