Zusatztext ...the book is a useful addition to the specialized literature! offering a comprehensive and diligent account of a limited area of research! at its current level of development. It should be useful to beginners for complementary reading after broader introductions to the liquid state of matter. Klappentext This book details the physical concepts and theoretical approaches developed to study the dynamical properties of high-density fluids at the microscopic level. After an incisive discussion of basic dynamical phenomena and various experimental probes, the book introduces the sophisticated theoretical techniques necessary for obtaining an in-depth account of both single particle and collective motions. Potential complications are addressed in a stepwise fashion, with special attention paid to the physical contents of the results. Well-written and comprehensive, Dynamics of the Liquid State will be welcomed by students and researchers in condensed matter physics and physical chemistry. Zusammenfassung The purpose fo this book is to present a comprehensive account of the physical concepts and theoretical approaches developed for the study of the dynamical properties of liquids (or more generally, of high-density fluids) at a microscopic level. After a discussion of the basic dynamical phenomena to be interupted, as well as of the various experimental probes, the book gradually exposes the reader to the sophisticated theoretical techniques needed for a satisfactory account of both single particle and coleective motions. The complications are faced in a stepwise fashion, with special attention to the physical content of the results. As a result of the progress achieved in the last decade, in the end a satisfactory understanding of most of the phenomena characterizing this fascinating field emerges.
