| Title | Spontaneous Formation of Space-Time Structures and Criticality |
| Author(s) | Riste, T;Sherrington, David |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1991. |
| Description | XVI, 446 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume contains the proceedings of a NATO Advanced study Institute held at Geilo, Norway between 2 - 12 april 1991. This institute was the eleventh in a series held biannually at Geilo on the subject of phase transitions. It was intended to capture the latest ideas on selforgan?? ized patterns and criticality. The Institute brought together many lecturers, students and active re?? searchers in the field from a wide range of NATO and non-NATO countries. The main financial support came from the NATO scientific Affairs Divi?? sion, but additional support was obtained from the Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities (NAVF) and Institutt for energi?? teknikk. The organizers would like to thank all these contributors for their help in promoting an exciting and rewarding meeting, and in doing so are confident that they echo the appreciation of all the parti?? cipants. In cooperative, equilibrium systems, physical states are described by spatio-temporal correlation functions. The intimate connection between space and time correlations is especially apparent at the critical point, the second order phase transition, where the spatial range and the decay time of the correlation function both become infinite. The salient features of critical phenomena and the history of the devel?? opment of this field of science are treated in the first chapter of this book |

| Title | Phase Transitions and Relaxation in Systems with Competing Energy Scales |
| Author(s) | Riste, T;Sherrington, David |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1993. |
| Description | XIV, 452 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Systems with competing energy scales are widespread and exhibit rich and subtle behaviour, although their systematic study is a relatively recent activity. This text presents lectures given at a NATO Advanced Study Institute reviewing the current knowledge and understanding of this fascinating subject, particularly with regard to phase transitions and dynamics, at an advanced tutorial level. Both general and specific aspects are considered, with competitions having several origins; differences in intrinsic interactions, interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic effects, such as geometry and disorder; irreversibility and non-equilibration. Among the specific physical application areas are supercooled liquids and glasses, high-temperature superconductors, flux or vortex pinning and motion, charge density waves, domain growth and coarsening, and electron solidification |
