Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics
, 1957Treatment of the predictive aspect of statistical mechanics as a form of statistical inference is extended to the density-matrix formalism and applied to a discussion of the relation between irreversibility and information loss.

The Emergence of Statistical Mechanics
2017This article traces the history of statistical mechanics, beginning with a discussion of mechanical models of thermal phenomena. In particular, it considers how several circumstances, including the establishment of thermodynamics in the mid-nineteenth century, led to a focus on the model of heat as a motion of particles.

2006
A summary is given of aspects of classical statistical mechanics and kinetic theory that are relevant to dense fluids. The concept of a phase space distribution function is introduced and an expression for its time evolution is derived. Time and ensemble averages are defined and the relevant ensembles are described, thereby establishing a link between ...

First-Principles Statistical Mechanics of Multicomponent Crystals
Annual review of materials research (Print), 2018The importance of configurational, vibrational, and electronic excitations in crystalline solids of technological interest makes a rigorous treatment of thermal excitations an essential ingredient in first-principles models of materials behavior.

Statistical mechanics of polyampholytes
Physical Review E, 1994Polyampholytes are polymers with a random sequence of positive and negative charges along their backbone. We examine the question of whether such polymers swell or contract due to Coulomb interactions, by Monte Carlo simulations and analytical arguments.

Statistical mechanics of cellular automata
, 1983Cellular automata are used as simple mathematical models to investigate self-organization in statistical mechanics. A detailed analysis is given of ''elementary'' cellular automata consisting of a sequence of sites with values 0 or 1 on a line, with each

STATISTICAL MECHANICS OF CROSS-LINKED POLYMER NETWORKS II. SWELLING
, 1943The interaction of solvents with cross‐linked network structures, such as occur in vulcanized rubber, is subjected to a statistical mechanical treatment based on the model and procedure presented in the preceding paper.
