Statistical physics of nanoparticles in the gas phase

• Several changes have been made to the text in this second edition relative to the first, and no chapter has been left untouched in the process. The changes are of two types. One is an expansion of the scope of the material covered. The other is the introduction of new developments of the field. The revisions have resulted in two new chapters and several new sections. In addition to these changes, uncountably many minor changes have been made in figures and in the text to improve readability. A part of the preparation of this edition was the correction of the errors and (mostly) misprints spotted in the first edition. During this process, it became clear to me that while two errors may cancel each other, mistakes never do. Happily, most mistakes were of minor importance. The idea behind the book remains unchanged: To provide a guided tour of a number of interesting phenomena in the field. A reader who compares this edition with the first will realize that occasionally the presentation has changed radically. But although the flavor may have changed here and there, hopefully the nutritional value still makes it worth for the reader to consume the dish. I want to thank Takeshi Furukawa, Bernd von Issendorff, Vitali Zhaunerchyk, and Mathias Weber for providing illustrative experimental data; Petr Slavícĕk for an educational conversation on holy water at an Erice Workshop; and Hanna Vehkamäki for enlightening me on the first nucleation theorem. Corrections, suggestions, and error reports are welcome and can be mailed to me at klavshansen@tju.edu.cn.
