The cutting edge of research in chemical physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series is dedicated to reviewing new and emerging topics as well as the latest developments in traditional areas of study in the field of chemical physics. Each volume features detailed comprehensive analyses coupled with individual points of view that integrate the many disciplines of science that are needed for a full understanding of chemical physics.

Volume 156 of Advances in Chemical Physics features five expertly written contributions:

• Phase Space Approach to Solving the Schr¨odinger Equation: Thinking Inside the Box

• Entropydriven Phase Transitions in Colloids: From Spheres to Anisotropic Particles

• Sub-nano Clusters: The Last Frontier of Inorganic Chemistry

• Supercooled Liquids and Glasses by Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy

• Confined Fluids: Structure, Properties and Phase Behavior

Reviews published in Advances in Chemical Physics are typically longer than those published in journals, providing the space needed for readers to fully grasp the topic: the fundamentals as well as the latest discoveries, applications, and emerging avenues of research. Extensive cross-referencing enables readers to explore the primary research studies underlying each topic.

STUART A. RICE received his master’s degree and doctorate from Harvard University and was a junior fellow at Harvard for two years before joining the faculty of The University of Chicago in 1957, where he is currently the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus.
