With its many beautiful colour pictures, this book gives fascinating insights into the unusual forms and behaviour of matter under extremely high pressures and temperatures. These extreme states are generated, among other things, by strong shock, detonation and electric explosio…
Quantum Statistical Mechanics in Classical Phase Space offers not just a new computational approach to condensed matter systems, but also a unique conceptual framework for understanding the quantum world and collective molecular behaviour. A formally exact transformation, this r…
The phenomenological (Landau) description of the ordered condensed matter from magnets to Bose condensates -- Simplest topological defects -- Topological defects and their classification -- Repulsion between solitons and viable vortex matter created by a Gauge field -- Abrikosov…
Ginzburg-Landau theory is an important tool in condensed matter physics research, describing the ordered phases of condensed matter, including the dynamics, elasticity, and thermodynamics of the condensed configurations. In this systematic introduction to Ginzberg-Landau theory,…

Solitons play a fundamental role in ordering processes in crystals. In the first edition, the essential mechanism of structural changes where solitons play the fundamental role of boson statistics was detailed for irreversible thermodynamics in crystals; explaining not only stru…
Phase transformations are among the most intriguing and technologically useful phenomena in materials, particularly with regard to controlling microstructure. After a review of thermodynamics, this book has chapters on Brownian motion and the diffusion equation, diffusion in sol…
Generalized extensive experimental and theoretical data regarding the phase transitions of polymer systems in mechanical and magnetic fields provide the possibility to predict the results of external field effects on the structure and mutual solubility of components. The data on…
