Advances in nanoscale science show that the properties of many
materials are dominated by internal structures. In molecular cases,
such as window glass and proteins, these internal structures
obviously have a network character. However, in many partly
disordered electronic materials, almost all attempts at
understanding are based on traditional continuum models. This
workshop focuses first on the phase diagrams and phase transitions
of materials known to be composed of molecular networks. These
phase properties characteristically contain remarkable features,
such as intermediate phases that lead to reversibility windows in
glass transitions as functions of composition. These features arise
as a result of self-organization of the internal structures of the
intermediate phases. In the protein case, this self-organization is
the basis for protein folding. The second focus is on partly
disordered electronic materials whose phase properties exhibit the
same remarkable features. In fact, the phenomenon of High
Temperature Superconductivity, discovered by Bednorz and Mueller in
1986, and now the subject of 75,000 research papers, also arises
from such an intermediate phase. More recently discovered
electronic phenomena, such as giant magnetoresistance, also are
made possible only by the existence of such special phases. This
book gives an overview of the methods and results obtained so far
by studying the characteristics and properties of nanoscale
self-organized networks. It demonstrates the universality of the
network approach over a range of disciplines, from protein folding
to the newest electronic materials.
