Dynamical Aspects of Critical Phenomena

John Shipley Rowlinson

Published Jun 1, 1973• 81 citations

Abstract

J I Budnick and M P Kawatra London: Gordon and Breach 1972 pp ix + 628 price £13·35 This volume is a reproduction in fairly accurate typescript of the papers given at a conference in New York in June 1970. A small part of the discussion and an address by E H Lieb on political activism and universities are included for good measure.

Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena Vol 5A

H. Osborn

C Domb and M S Green (eds) London and New York: Academic 1976 pp xvii + 420 price £13.50 The subject of phase transitions has rapidly advanced over the last decade and the volume under review is one of a series giving a comprehensive survey of both the theoretical and experimental aspects in this area. This volume contains an attractive article by Kadanoff on the main unifying ideas of universality and scaling (although the innocent reader should beware of misprints) and other contributions discuss mean field theory, applications of neutron scattering and mode coupling methods for discussing nonequilibrium behaviour near a critical point.

Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena

D. J. Thouless

H E Stanley Oxford: University Press 1971 pp xx + 308 price £5 In the past fifteen years or so there has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions. It has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.
