Modern physics is confronted with a large variety of complex spatial patterns. Although both spatial statisticians and statistical physicists study random geometrical structures, there has been only little interaction between the two up to now because of different traditions and languages.
This volume aims to change this situation by presenting in a clear way fundamental concepts of spatial statistics which are of great potential value for condensed matter physics and materials sciences in general, and for porous media, percolation and Gibbs processes in particular. Geometric aspects, in particular ideas of stochastic and integral geometry, play a central role throughout. With nonspecialist researchers and graduate students also in mind, prominent physicists give an excellent introduction here to modern ideas of statistical physics pertinent to this exciting field of research.

Prof. Dr. Dietrich Stoyan, geboren 1940, war Mathematik-Professor an der TU Bergakademie Freiberg, von 1991 bis 1997 ihr Rektor. Er publizierte zahlreiche mathematische Bücher und ist Mitglied der Leopoldina und anderer Wissenschaftsakademien. In letzter Zeit widmet er sich der Freiberger Universitätsgeschichte.
