Jamming and Glass Transitions [E-Book] : In Mean-Field Theories and Beyond / by Ada Altieri

The work described in this book originates from a major effort to develop a fundamental theory of the glass and the jamming transitions. The first chapters guide the reader through the phenomenology of supercooled liquids and structural glasses and provide the tools to analyze the most frequently us...
