The research on condensed molecular solids is truly interdisciplinary, spanning the range from statistical and molecular physics to solid-state-physics, chemistry, up to materials science. This Symposium on dynamical processes in condensed molecular systems highlights the most recent developments in the field, focussing on low-dimensional and non-crystalline materials, such as Langmuir-Blodgett-films, polymers and glasses. The text includes both advanced experimental techniques (hole-burning, fluorescence, short-time pulses, nonlinear spectroscopy) and also modern theoretical approches (dynamical percolation, fractals, localization).

This volume provides the latest developments in the field of fractional dynamics, which covers fractional (anomalous) transport phenomena, fractional statistical mechanics, fractional quantum mechanics and fractional quantum field theory. The contributors are selected based on their active and important contributions to their respective topics. This volume is the first of its kind that covers such a comprehensive range of topics in fractional dynamics. It will point out to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and young researchers the possible directions of research in this subject.In addition to those who intend to work in this field and those already in the field, this volume will also be useful for researchers not directly involved in the field, but want to know the current status and trends of development in this subject. This latter group includes theoretical chemists, mathematical biologists and engineers.
