Studies in interface science ; vol. 2
Content:
One of the few textbooks in the field, this volume deals with several aspects of the dynamics of colloids. A self-contained treatise, it fills the gap between research literature and existing books for graduate students and researchers. For readers with a background in chemistry, the first chapter contains a section on frequently used mathematical techniques, as well as statistical mechanics. Some of the topics covered include: diffusion of free particles on the basis of the Langevin equation the separation of time, length and angular scales; the fundamental Fokker-Planck and Smol
