Statistical Mechanics of Irreversibility

Physical Review, 1952
The fluctuation-dissipation theorem relating spontaneous equilibrium fluctuations to the conductance in a dissipative thermodynamic system is extended to the case of several variables, using a quantum statistical analysis. The conductance matrix is shown to be subject to certain symmetry relations, providing a generalization of the Onsager reciprocity ...

First-Principles Statistical Mechanics of Multicomponent Crystals

Annual review of materials research (Print), 2018
The 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.

Generalized Statistical Mechanics

Physical Review, 1951
In this paper, a start is made toward the development of a statistical mechanics that will be suited to the treatment of dynamic changes in thermodynamic systems and which, at the same time, will be in the appropriate form for a relativistically invariant theory.

Statistical mechanics of cracks

Physical Review E, 1996
This paper describes a formalism designed to answer questions about Hamiltonian systems in contact with a heat bath. The formalism is applied to a simple model of fracture to find, first, the rate at which a crack creeps through a brittle body as a result of thermal fluctuations and, second, the rate at which the crack jumps from creeping to rapid ...

Bayesian Statistics and Statistical Mechanics

1989
In this note we give a brief exposition of a fruitful interaction between statistical mechanics and modern statistical methods which might be rather unfamiliar to most physicists. Details of the author’s contribution will appear in forthcoming papers [1,2].
