Subject RIV: BM - Solid Matter Physics ; Magnetism

Structural changes of the medium-range ordered matter (liquid-glass) is reviewed and analyzed in terms of polarizability and with regard the size of voids created within the fluid (viscous) state during transformation. The role of critical volume is also discussed.
