Liquid Polymorphism, Volume 152

The Advances in Chemical Physics series the cutting edge of research in chemical physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics and physical chemistry fields with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive manner not found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of the Advances in Chemical Physics series presents contributions from internationally renowned chemists and serves as the perfect supplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study of chemical physics.

This volume explores:

• Electron Spin Resonance Studies of Supercooled Water
• Water-like Anomalies of Core-Softened Fluids: Dependence on the Trajectories in (P, ϱ, T) Space
• Water Proton Environment: A New Water Anomaly at Atomic Scale?
• Polymorphism and Anomalous Melting in Isotropic Fluids
• Computer Simulations of Liquid Silica: Water-Like Thermodynamic and Dynamic Anomalies, and the Evidence for Polyamorphism

H. EUGENE STANLEY is the Professor of Physics, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, and Physiology (School of Medicine) at Boston University. His current research focuses on understanding the anomalous behavior of liquid water, and he has made contributions to understanding complex systems, such as quantifying correlations among the constituents of the Alzheimer brain. He is one of the founding fathers of econophysics and has won the prestigious Boltzmann Award and Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize, among other notable achievements.

STUART A. RICE received his master’s 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.

AARON R. DINNER received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, after which he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford and the University of California, Berkeley. He joined the faculty at The University of Chicago in 2003.
