Heat-exchange statistics in driven open quantum systems

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
As the dimensions of physical systems approach the nanoscale, the laws of thermodynamics must be reconsidered due to the increased importance of fluctuations and quantum effects.

Lectures on statistical mechanics

open access: yesJournal of Plasma Physics
Abstract Presented here is a transcription of the lecture notes from Professor Allan N. Kaufman’s graduate statistical mechanics course Physics 212A and 212B at the University of California Berkeley from the 1972–1973 academic year. 212A addressed equilibrium statistical mechanics with topics: fundamentals (micro-canonical and sub-canonical ...

Ergodic hypothesis in classical statistical mechanics

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ensino de Física
An updated discussion on physical and mathematical aspects of the ergodic hypothesis in classical equilibrium statistical mechanics is presented. Then a practical attitude for the justification of the microcanonical ensemble is indicated.

Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of Small Systems

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
A challenging frontier in modern statistical physics is concerned with systems with a small number of degrees of freedom, far from the thermodynamic limit.[...]

Statistical Mechanics-Based Schrödinger Treatment of Gravity

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The entropic gravity conception proposes that what has been traditionally interpreted as unobserved dark matter might be merely the product of quantum effects.

Covariant statistical mechanics

open access: yesIl Nuovo Cimento B Series 10, 1968
1. The relativistic t ransformation properties of thermodynamical quantities have been discussed even before the advent of the special theory of relativity. In 1904 HASENOEHRL (1) derived a formula for the spectral intensi ty of the radiation emit ted from a moving black body. By 1919 the problem seemed to be solved and clearly understood: a chapter in
