Coniglio A., Fierro A., Herrmann H.J., Nicodemi M. (Eds.) Unifying Concepts in Granular Media and Glasses: From the Statistical Mechanics of Granular Media to the Theory of Jamming
Elsеvier Sciеnce, 2004, 232 pages

Deep connections are emerging in the physics of non-thermal systems,such as granular media, and other "complex systems" such as glass formers, spin glasses, colloids or gels. This book discusses the unifying physical theories, developed in recent years, for the description of these systems. The special focus of the book is on recent important developments in the formulation of a Statistical Mechanics approach to granular media and the description of out-of-equilibrium dynamics, such as "jamming" phenomena, ubiquitous in these "complex systems". The book collects contributions from leading researchers in these fields, providing both an introduction, at a graduate level, to these rapidly developing subjects and featuring an up to date, self contained, presentation of theoretical and experimental developments for researchers in areas ranging from Chemistry, to Engineering and Physical Sciences.
the book discusses very hot topics in physical sciences
it includes contributions from the most prominent researchers in the area
it is clearly written and self contained

The first part of this book deals with non-thermal systems and, more specifically, granular
media. Here there is an even more basic conceptual open problem: the lack of an established
theoretical framework where they might be described.
The second part of the book deals with thermal glassy systems. The structure of glassy
dynamics and aging is discussed and evidence is given about the general possibility to define
a dynamical "effective temperature" characterizing off-equilibrium relaxation. In particular, the recently discovered glassy properties of dense attractive micellar systems are studied from an experimental.

Cambridge University Press, 2004, 316 pages, ISBN: 0521617200, 0521622786 Fractal structures are found everywhere in nature, and as a consequence anomalous diffusion has far reaching implications in a host of phenomena. This book describes diffusion and transport in disordered media such as fractals, porous rocks and random resistor networks. Part I contains material of general interest to statistical physics: fractals, percolation theory, reg...

William Andrew Publishing, 2005. 532 pp. This book is about the games atoms play in diffusion and various other properties of materials. While diffusion has been studied for more than 100 years in solids, its importance, excitement, and intellectual challenges remain undiminished with time. It is central to understanding the relationship between the structure and properties of naturally occurring and synthetic materials, which is at the root of c...
