Advances in Chemical Physics, Volume 148

The Advances in Chemical Physics series—the cutting edge of research in chemical physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics and physical chemistry fields with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive manner not found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of the Advances in Chemical Physics series offers contributions from internationally renowned chemists and serves as the perfect supplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study of chemical physics.

This volume explores:

• Control of Quantum Phenomena (Constantin Brif, Raj Chakrabarti, and Herschel Rabitz)

• Crowded Charges in Ion Channels (Bob Eisenberg)

• Colloidal Crystallization Between Two and Three Dimensions (H. Löwen, E.C. Oguz, L. Assoud, and R. Messina)

• Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Fluids in Curved Space (Gilles Tarjus, FranÇois Sausset, and Pascal Viot)
