More About This Textbook

Overview

This self-contained textbook aims to introduce the physics of structurally disordered condensed systems at the level of advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Topics discussed include the geometry and symmetries of the most commonly used building blocks to obtain atomic structures, the various kinds of disorder, the phenomenology and the main theories of the glass transition, the investigation on the structure of amorphous systems, the dependence of system structure on its dimensions (clusters), and the case of positional order in the absence of translational order (quasicrystals).
