Advances in Chemical Physics is the only series of volumes available that explores the cutting edge of research in chemical physics. * This is the only series of volumes available that presents the cutting edge of research in chemical physics. * Includes contributions from experts in this field of research. * Contains a representative cross-section of research that questions established thinking on chemical solutions. * Structured with an editorial framework that makes the book an excellent supplement to an advanced graduate class in physical chemistry or chemical physics.

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 * Subnano 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.
