Time–Resolved Spectroscopy in Complex Liquids introduces current state–of–the–art techniques in the study of complex dynamical problems in liquid phases. With a unique focus on the experimental aspects applied to complex liquids, this volume provides an excellent overview into the quickly emerging field of soft–matter science. Researchers and engineers will find a comprehensive review of current non–linear spectroscopic and optical Kerr effect techniques, in addition to an in–depth look into relaxation dynamics in complex liquids. This volume offers current experimental findings in transient grating spectroscopy and their application to viscoelastic phenomena in glass–formers, dynamics of confined liquid–crystals, and a time–resolved analysis of the host–quest interactions of dye molecules in liquid–crystal matter.

Time–Resolved Spectroscopy in Complex Liquids provides a cohesive introduction suitable for individuals involved in this emerging field, complete with the latest experimental procedures of complex liquids.
