Book 166



Various Russian contributors provide a synthesis of ideas drawn from dielectric, magnetic and elastic relaxation. Divided into three sections, their study commences with dielectric and related processes in simple liquids. Part 2 deals with the structure and dielectric relaxation of aqueous solutions. Lastly, the researchers address magnetic and dielectric relaxation in liquid crystals and elastic relaxation in orientable polymers.


This series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Fractals, Diffusion, and Relaxation in Disordered Complex Systems is a special guest-edited, two-part volume of Advances in Chemical Physics that continues to report recent advances with significant, up-to-date chapters by internationally recognized researchers. This special volume includes chapters on: Dielectic Relaxation Phenomena in Complex Materials Evolution of the Dynamic Susceptibility in Super-Cooled Liquids and Glasses Slow Relaxation, Anomalous Diffusion, and Aging in Equilibrated or Non-equilibrated Environments Aging and Non-Ergodicity Behavior of Blinking Quantum Dot The Continuous Time Random Walk Versus the Generalized Master Equation
