This student-friendly textbook provides a clear introduction to statistical physics. It bridges classical and quantum mechanics to explain the collective behavior of complex systems, exploring real-world applications from ideal gases to quantum condensation.
This comprehensive and student-friendly textbook provides a clear, methodical introduction to statistical physics, a cornerstone of modern theoretical physics. Designed for undergraduate and early postgraduate students, the book bridges classical and quantum statistical mechanics to explain the collective behavior of complex systems composed of vast numbers of particles. It explores the foundations of Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac statistics, offering insights into real-world applications ranging from ideal gases to blackbody radiation and quantum condensation.
The author draws on his extensive teaching experience to present core concepts with clarity and depth, using illustrative examples, historical context, and step-by-step derivations. The book is particularly suited for learners seeking an intuitive and accessible pathway into the subject, making challenging material both understandable and engaging. Whether used as a primary textbook or a supplementary reference, this volume serves as a valuable tool for mastering the essentials of statistical thermodynamics.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
This book presents physical kinetics from a unique angle, deriving the Boltzmann equation from atomic motion using Landau’s elementary excitations. It details the kinetic theory of classical gas and plasma, the lifetime of phonons, and the features of superconductivity.
This book uses complexity research to overcome the categorizations and opposites that limit our descriptions of existence. It offers innovative philosophical insights to arrive at a unified vision of nature and society, governed by the same laws of non-linearity.
This book presents a theory of nonlinear response in charged media, yielding Burnett transport coefficients to model heat and mass flows. It applies these methods to extreme scenarios, from gas-phase nuclear reactors to a spacecraft landing on Mars. For specialists.
Celebrating Paolo Grigolini’s 50-year legacy in non-equilibrium statistical physics. This collection explores his pioneering work on the quantum-classical connection, anomalous diffusion, and new methods for detecting scaling in time series.
This book unveils a systems theory where fractal fluctuations are signatures of quantum-like chaos. Based on statistical physics, the model predicts a distribution that is near-normal for moderate events but exhibits a fat long tail associated with hazardous extreme events.
