With his previous book, "The Structure of Matter: From the Blue Sky to Liquid Crystals", Andre Guinier described various models for the atomic structure of matter. Here, the authors show how such models can be used to explain the macroscopic properties of solids. The aim of this text is to provide the non-specialist with an introduction to the ...
Supported by experiments, a picture of the state of the art in numerical simulations and theories is given on the physics of glasses and supercooled liquids. Specialists in the fields of structural and dynamical aspects of glasses lecture on the different approaches of mode coupling theories, two-level systems, geometrical frustration, etc.
