Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Jean-Pierre Hansen and I.R. McDonald provide cutting-edge research in the principles of liquid-state theory. It includes frequent comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental and simulation data.
This text is suitable for researchers and post-graduates in the field of condensed matter science (Physics, Chemistry, Material Science), biophysics as well as those in the oil industry. It is an updated, advanced, but self-contained introduction to the principles of liquid-state theory. It presents the modern, molecular theory of the structural, thermodynamic interfacial and dynamical properties of the liquid phase of materials constituted of atoms, small molecules or ions.
This book leans on concepts and methods form classical Statistical Mechanics in which theoretical predictions are systematically compared with experimental data and results from numerical simulations. The overall layout of the book is similar to that of the previous two editions however, there are considerable changes in emphasis and several key additions.
Although there has been a shift in emphasis towards more complex systems, there remains in our view a place for a book that deals with the principles of liquid-state theory, covering both statics and dynamics. Thus, in preparing a third edition, we have resisted the temptation to broaden too far the scope of the book, and the focus remains firmly on simple systems, though many of the methods we describe continue to find a wider range of application.
Nonetheless, some reorganization of the book has been required in order to give proper weight to more recent developments. The most obvious change is in the space devoted to the theory of inhomogeneous fluids, an area in which considerable progress has been made since 1986. Other major additions are sections on the properties of supercooled liquids, which include a discussion of the mode-coupling theory of the kinetic glass transition, on theories of condensation and freezing and on the electric double layer.
To make way for this and other new material, some sections from the second edition have either been reduced in length or omitted altogether. In particular, we no longer see a need to include a complete chapter on molecular simulation, the publication of several excellent texts on the subject having filled what was previously a serious gap in the literature.
There is up-to-date presentation of modern theories of liquid-vapour coexistence and criticality with areas of considerable present and future interest such as super-cooled liquids and the glass transition. This text also describes the area of liquid metals, which has grown into a mature subject area, now presented as part of the chapter ionic liquids.
