Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

We attempt a classification of different colloidal gels based on colloid–colloid interactions.
We discriminate primarily between non-equilibrium and equilibrium routes to gelation, the …

This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related
disordered condensed matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such …

Experiments, theory, and simulation were used to study glass formation in a simple model
system composed of hard spheres with short-range attraction (“sticky hard spheres”). The …

Many fluids, both simple and complex, exhibit coexistence of a liquid and a vapor phase in
some part of their phase diagram. In the simplest case, this feature can be reproduced by the …

We survey results of computer simulations for the structure and dynamics of supercooled
polymer melts and films. Our survey is mainly concerned with features of a coarse grained …

Mode-coupling theory is an approach to the study of complex behavior in the supercooled
liquids which developed from the idea of a nonlinear feedback mechanism. From the …

Measuring, characterizing, and modelling the slow dynamics of glassy soft matter is a great
challenge, with an impact that ranges from industrial applications to fundamental issues in …
