Why does statistical mechanics 'work' in condensed matter?

open access: closedUspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 2021
Abstract The reasons behind the possibility of using the Gibbs distribution in condensed matter are considered. While the basics of statistical mechanics in gases are covered in great detail in many textbooks and reviews, the reasons for using the Gibbs distribution in crystals, glasses, and liquids are rarely considered.

A brief review of quantum mechanics

2013
Come forth into the light of things, Let nature be your teacher. William Wordsworth , The Tables Turned The main focus of this book is many-particle systems such as electrons in a crystal. Such systems are studied within the framework of quantum mechanics, with which the reader is assumed to be familiar. Nevertheless, a brief review of this subject

Transport theory and the founding of condensed matter physics

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023
In 1966, Woon Siong Gan coined and invented the name transport theory in condensed matter physics. Today, transport theory is the backbone theory of condensed matter physics and the whole condensed matter physics can be represented by transport theory ...
