Statistical Mechanics

Manual for Theoretical Chemistry, 2021
The subjects of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics are large everyday objects, containing billions of individual constituents. Examples include say 1 liter of a certain gas or liquid, or electrons in a metallic wire, or lattice vibrations of a ...

Quantum statistical mechanics

Statistical Mechanics, 2021
Quantum statistical mechanics governs metals, semiconductors, and neutron stars. Statistical mechanics spawned Planck’s invention of the quantum, and explains Bose condensation, superfluids, and superconductors.

Glasses and Aging, A Statistical Mechanics Perspective on

Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science, 2020
We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main phenomenology encountered in glassy systems, with a particular emphasis on ...

Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics

, 1957
Treatment 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

2017
This 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.

Statistical mechanics

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 ...
