This book presents recent research results in the field of condensed matter which is one of the most active fields of physics, with a stream of discoveries in areas from superfluidity and magnetism to the optical, electronic and mechanical properties of materials such as semiconductors, polymers and carbon nanotubes. It includes the study of well-characterised solid surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures as well as studies of molecular liquids (molten salts, ionic solutions, liquid metals and semiconductors) and soft matter systems (colloidal suspensions, polymers, surfactants, foams, liquid crystals, membranes, biomolecules etc) including glasses and biological aspects of soft matter.

Preface; A Molecular Dynamics Description of Clusters in Strong Fields; Extended Universality in a Statistical Mechanical Model; Metal-Insulator Phenomena in 2D: A Unified Scaling Picture; Phase Transitions and Hysteresis in a System of Two Coupled Magnetic Nanoparticles; Recent Advances in the Electronic and Vibrational Studies of Carbon Nanotubes using Fullerenes as Local Probes; Effect of Apical Oxygen Ordering on Tc of Cuprate Superconductors; Geometric Effects and Magnetic Phases in Quantum Rings; Index.
