Advances in Chemical Physics [Hardcover]

Volume 109 in the prestigious Advances in Chemical Physics Series, edited by Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine, and renowned authority Stuart A. Rice, continues to report recent advances in every area of the discipline. Significant, up-to-date chapters by internationally recognized researchers present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest and encourage the expression of individual points of view. This approach to presenting an overview of a subject will both stimulate new research and serve as a personalized learning text for beginners in the field.On the Theory of the Complex, Frequency-Dependent, Susceptibility of Magnetic Fluids (B. Scaife).

Simulating Molecular Properties of Liquid Crystals (J. Crain & A. Komolkin).

Molecular-Based Modeling of Water and Aqueous Solutions at Supercritical Conditions (A. Chialvo & P. Cummings).

Polar and Nonpolar Solvation Dynamics, Ion Diffusion, and Vibration Relaxation: Role of Biphasic Solvent Response in Chemical Dynamics (B. Bagchi & R. Biswas).

ILYA PRIGOGINE is Director of the Instituts Internationaux de Physique et de Chimie, E. Solvay, Brussels, Belgium. Dr. Prigogine is also the Ashbel Smith Professor of Physics at The University of Texas at Austin, where he is also Director of the Ilya Prigogine Center for Studies in Statistical Mechanics and Complex Systems. In 1977 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

STUART A. RICE received his master's and doctorate from Harvard University and was a Junior Fellow at Harvard for two years before joining the faculty of The University of Chicago in 1957 where he remains a well-known theoretical chemist who also does experimental research and is currently the Frank P.
