  The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. This special, guest-edited volume focuses on the kinetics and thermodynamics of multistep nucleation and self-assembly in nanoscale materials. Chapters included discuss:
* Kinetics and thermodynamics of fluctuation-induced transitions in multistable systems
* Dynamical rare event simulation techniques for equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems
* Confocal depolarized dynamic light scattering
* The two-step mechanism and the solution-crystal spinodal for nucleation of crystals in solution
* Experimental studies of two-step nucleation during two-dimensional crystallization of colloidal particles with short-range attraction
* On the role of metastable intermediate states in the homogeneous nucleation of solids from solution
* Effects of protein size on the high-concentration/low-concentration phase transition
* Geometric constraints in the self-assembly of mineral dendrites and platelets
* What can mesoscopic level in situ observations teach us about kinetics and thermodynamics of protein crystallization
* The ability of silica to induce biomimetic crystallization of calcium carbonate [352 Pages, Hardcover]
