General Conference of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society, 6th, Stockholm, Sweden, Mar. 22-25, 1986, Proceedings

The present conference discusses the dynamics of the glass transition, the aggregation kinetics of immunoglobulins, the dynamics of fractal structures, He-desorption defects in metals, the electronic structure of actinide intermetallic compounds, the optical properties of many-particle systems, noise and chaos in Josephson junctions, the laser microprocessing of metals, and the creation of metastable materials by laser irradiation. Also treated are optical nonlinearities and instabilities in semiconductors, bistable semiconductor elements for optical data processing and photonic logic, the superconductivity of silicon, advancements in the physics of microemulsions, freezing scenarios for classical liquids, the cyclotron resonance spectrum of two-dimensional polarons, the symmetry and topology of icosahedral crystals, and solitons in the alpha-helix.
