Energy Landscapes: Applications to Clusters, Biomolecules and Glasses
David Wales
Energy Landscapes: Applications to Clusters, Biomolecules and Glasses - Cambridge [u.a.] Cambridge University Press 2004 - IX, 681 S. Ill., graph. Darst. 26 cm - Cambridge Molecular Science .
Includes bibliographical references and index
1. Introduction; 2. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation and normal modes; 3. Symmetry considerations; 4. Features of the landscape; 5. Describing the landscape; 6. Exploring the landscape; 7. Properties of the landscape; 8. Clusters; 9. Biomolecules; 10. Glasses and supercooled liquids.
This book aims to provide a self-contained account of energy landscape theory and how it is used in studies of clusters, biomolecules and glasses. Many groups are now attempting to understand how the properties of systems ranging from small molecules to proteins and glasses are determined by the energy landscape. This is the first book to cover this active field. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout it is aimed at graduate students and workers in the field.
