This text presents lectures given at a  NATO Advanced Study Institute reviewing the current knowledge and  understanding of this fascinating subject, particularly with regard to  phase transitions and dynamics, at an advanced tutorial level.\u003cbr\u003e  Both general and specific aspects are considered, with competitions  having several origins; differences in intrinsic interactions,  interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic effects, such as geometry  and disorder; irreversibility and non-equilibration. Among the  specific physical application areas are supercooled liquids and  glasses, high-temperature superconductors, flux or vortex pinning and  motion, charge density waves, domain growth and coarsening, and  electron solidification. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401048439\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1908-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 452\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398521680012,"sku":"9789401048439","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401048439.jpg?v=1776432020","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401048439","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
