Contents:
Potential energy functions -- Statistical mechanical basics -- Basins, saddles, and configuration-space mapping -- Crystal phases -- Liquids at thermal equilibrium -- Supercooled liquids and glasses -- Low-density matter -- The helium isotopes -- Water -- Polymeric substances -- Protein folding phenomena.
Summary: "This book presents an authoritative and in-depth treatment of potential energy landscape theory, a powerful analytical approach to describing the atomic and molecular interactions in condensed-matter phenomena. Drawing on the latest developments in the computational modeling of many-body systems, Frank Stillinger applies this approach to a diverse range of substances and systems, including crystals, liquids, glasses and other amorphous solids, polymers, and solvent-suspended biomolecules."--Publisher's website.
