{"product_id":"9789814407496","title":"Glassy Disordered Systems: Glass Formation And Universal Anomalous Low-energy Properties (Soft Modes): Glass Formation and Universal Anomalous Low-Energy Properties","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe present book describes the fundamental features of glassy disordered systems at high temperatures (close to the liquid-to-glass transition) and for the first time in a book, the universal anomalous properties of glasses at low energies (i.e. temperatures\/frequencies lower than the Debye values) are depicted. Several important theoretical models for both the glass formation and the universal anomalous properties of glasses are described and analyzed. The origin and main features of soft atomic-motion modes and their excitations, as well as their role in the anomalous properties, are considered in detail. It is shown particularly that the soft-mode model gives rise to a consistent description of the anomalous properties. Additional manifestations of the soft modes in glassy phenomena are described. Other models of the anomalous glassy properties can be considered as limit cases of the soft-mode model for either very low or moderately low temperatures\/frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamental Properties of Glasses:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Description of Glasses and Glass Transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModels of Glassy (Topologically Disordered) Structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Theoretical Models of Glass Transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKohlrausch–William–Watt (KWW) Relaxation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnomalous Low-Energy Dynamics of Glasses:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin of Anomalous Low-Energy Properties of Glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperimental Background for Anomalous Low-Energy Atomic Dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-Mode Model of Low-Energy Atomic Dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-Mode Excitations of Very Low and “Intermediate” Energies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunneling States as Very Low Energy Limit Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-Mode Excitations of Moderately-Low Energies (Boson Peak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn Universal and Non-Universal Dynamic Properties of Glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Models for Glasses with High Frequency Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecent Models for Glasses with No High-Frequency Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnomalous Electron Properties of Semiconducting Glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-Mode Model of Localized Electron States in the Glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional Manifestations of Soft Modes in Glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummary, Conclusions and Problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students in the field of amorphous solids, professional theoretical physicists in glasses, professional experimentalists in glasses.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137424507120,"sku":"9789814407496","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814407496_p0.jpg?v=1763691178","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814407496","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
