Index, Volume 20 (Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena)

The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results. It has moved into a central place in condensed matter studies. Statistical physics, and more specifically, the theory of transitions between states of matter, more or less defines what we know about 'everyday' matter and its transformations. The major aim of this serial is to provide review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field, and for graduate students and others wishing to obtain reliable information on important recent developments.Index, Volume 20 (Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena), 1 was published 2000 under ISBN 9780122203206 and ISBN 0122203208.
