Description
The third edition of Theory of Simple Liquids is an updated, advanced, but self-contained introduction to the principles of liquid-state
theory. It presents the modern, molecular theory of the structural, thermodynamic interfacial and dynamical properties of the liquid
phase of materials constituted of atoms, small molecules or ions. This book leans on concepts and methods form classical Statistical
Mechanics in which theoretical predictions are systematically compared with experimental data and results from numerical simulations.
The overall layout of the book is similar to that of the previous two editions however, there are considerable changes in emphasis
and several key additions including:
?up-to-date presentation of modern theories of liquid-vapour coexistence and criticality
?areas
of considerable present and future interest such as super-cooled liquids and the glass transition
?the area of liquid metals, which has
grown into a mature subject area, now presented as part of the chapter ionic liquids
Audience
Suitable for researchers and post-graduates in the field of condensed matter science (Physics, Chemistry, Material Science), biophysics as well as those in the oil industry
