This volume is the third edition of the first-ever elementary book on the Langevin equation
method for the solution of problems involving the translational and rotational Brownian …

Glasses are ubiquitous in daily life and technology. However, the microscopic mechanisms
generating this state of matter remain subject to debate: Glasses are considered either as …

Dielectric relaxation measurements probe how the polarization of a material responds to the
application of an external electric field, providing information on structure and dynamics of …

The slowing down of molecular dynamics when approaching the glass transition generally
proceeds much stronger than expected for thermally activated motions. This strange …

Coverage includes five chapters entitled Criticality of Ionic Fluids; Mode Coupling Theory
Approach to Liquid State Dynamics; Anomalous Stochastic Processes in the Fractional …

The ac nonlinear dielectric response χ 3 (ω, T) of glycerol was measured close to its glass
transition temperature T g to investigate the prediction that supercooled liquids respond in …

In some biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), the particles are
physically immobilized. In this study, we explore the effect of the alignment of the magnetic …

We summarize current developments in the investigation of glassy matter using nonlinear
dielectric spectroscopy. This work also provides a brief introduction into the phenomenology …

Large-amplitude thermal excursions imposed on deeply supercooled liquids modulate the
nonlinear time evolution of their structural rearrangements. The consequent aftereffects are …

The nonlinear dielectric susceptibilities χ 3 (1)(ω, T) and χ 3 (3)(ω, T), corresponding
respectively to the first-and third-harmonic responses, have been measured in supercooled …
