Distinguished work by two noted authorities covers static structure and thermodynamics, calculation of liquid structure from a law of force, binary fluids, charged fluids, much more. 1976 edition.

The atomic dynamics in liquids is still a challenging subject. The objective of this thesis was to study how the dynamics depends on the TYPE of the atomic interaction. Dynamic properties extracted from inelastic neutron scattering experiments on three binary systems clearly show a discontinous behaviour in the transition from a pure metallic to an ionic and partly covalent bonding regime. Further, results of Monte-Carlo simulations of a new type of spectrometer, a Neutron-Brillouin-Spectrometer, that is currently under construction, are presented.

This ASI was planned to make a major contribution to the teaching of the principles and methods used in liquid phase ~esearch and to encourage the setting up of collaborative projects, as advocated by the European Molecular Liquids Group (secretary: Dr J. Yarwood, University of Durham, U. K. ). During the past five years considerable progress has been made in studying molecular liquids. The undoubted advantages of international collaboration led to the formation of the European Molecular Liquids Group (EMLG) in July 1981. The activities of the EMLG were widely disseminated in a special session of the European Congress on Molecular Spectroscopy (EUCMOS) held in September 1981 (for details, see J. Mol. Structure, 80 (1982) 375 - 421). Following the success of this meeting, it was thought that the aims and objectives of the E~G would be best served by the organisation of a broader-based gathering designed to attract those interested in the study of the structure, dynamics and interactions in the liquid state. Thanks to the generous support by the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO, it was possible to hold a NATO ASI on Molecular Liquids at the Italian Centre of Stanford University, Florence, Italy during June-July 1983. This book is based on the lectures presented at that meeting. The contents of this volume cover the three broad areas of current liquid phase research: (a) Analytical theory.
