Thermodynamics of the Glassy State

Luca Leuzzi

This book presents a comprehensive account of the modern theory of glasses, from basic principles to Maxwell relations. After introducing general theoretical concepts and historical developments, it thoroughly describes glassy phenomenology and the established theory. The core of the book surveys the crucial technique of two-temperature thermodynamics, explains the success of this method in resolving previously paradoxical problems in glasses, and presents exactly solvable models. The authors also tackle the potential energy landscape approach and discuss more detailed theories of glassy states, including mode coupling, avoided critical point, replica, and random first order transition theories.
