Glassy materials and disordered solids

About this book

Although this text deals with the physics of condensed matter, its contents differs strongly from the one of most standard textbooks on this subject in that it focuses on materials such as window glass, plastics, rubber, amorphous metals, porous materials, magnets with frozen-in disorder, etc., i.e. on systems that are referred to as "amorphous materials" or "ill-condensed matter".
