Phase Transitions and Relaxation in Systems with Competing Energy Scales [E-Book] / edited by Tormod Riste, David Sherrington.
Systems with competing energy scales are widespread and exhibit rich and subtle behaviour, although their systematic study is a relatively recent activity. This text presents lectures given at a NATO Advanced Study Institute reviewing the current knowledge and understanding of this fascinating subje...
