By: Riseborough, Peter.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Singapore : World Scientific, 2020Description: 1 online resource (xvi, 676 p.).ISBN: 9789811223433.Subject(s): Statistical mechanics -- TextbooksGenre/Form: Electronic books.DDC classification: 530.13 Online resources: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.
Contents:
Thermodynamics -- Foundations of statistical mechanics -- The micro-canonical ensemble -- The canonical ensemble -- The grand-canonical ensemble -- Quantum statistical mechanics -- Fermi-dirac statistics -- Bose-einstein statistics -- Phase transitions -- The renormalization group -- Non-equilibrium phenomena.
Summary: "The book is aimed at undergraduate students in their senior year and first year graduate students. It elucidates the basis of thermodynamics and provides a basis for the understanding of, not only the thermodynamic properties of a microscopic system, but also their fluctuations, correlations and close-to-equilibrium properties"--Publisher's website.
