The common thread behind these two research works is their demonstration of the importance and effectiveness of utilizinWorld Scientific lecture notes in physics ;v. 79.Phase transformations (Statistical physics)Colloidal crystalsPhase-transfer catalystsPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Colloidal crystals.Phase-transfer catalysts.530.41Kung William1566438MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780926603321Geometry and phase transitions in colloids and polymers3836911UNINA
