Statistical Mechanics I: Statistical Mechanics of Particles

open access: yes, 2005
Statistical Mechanics is a probabilistic approach to equilibrium properties of large numbers of degrees of freedom. In this two-semester course, basic principles are examined.

Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics: partition functions and steepest entropy increase

open access: yes, 2011
On the basis of just the microscopic definition of thermodynamic entropy and the definition of the rate of entropy increase as the sum of products of thermodynamic fluxes and their conjugated forces, we have derived a general expression for non ...

Entropy‐Driven Innovations: Entropy Stabilized Oxides for High‐Performance Next‐Generation Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
This article explores high‐entropy‐stabilized oxides (HEOs) as novel functional materials for addressing critical issues in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, including lithium polysulfide (LPS) shuttling, inadequate conductivity, and slow redox kinetics.

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 834-867, September 2026.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Brussels-Austin Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics in the Later Years: Large Poincaré Systems and Rigged Hilbert Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This second part of a two-part essay discusses recent developments in the Brussels-Austin Group after the mid 1980s. The fundamental concerns are the same as in their similarity transformation approach (see Part I), but the contemporary approach utilizes

Planck's formula and glassy behavior in classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics

open access: yes, 2000
In statistical mechanics it is well known that one has to take into account the role of the relaxation times to equilibrium. We discuss the relevance of this fact for systems of weakly coupled harmonic oscillators in a classical framework, showing how ...

Carrier Mobility Enhancement in Two‐Dimensional Semiconductor

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 796-833, September 2026.
In this review, we comprehensively describe recent progress in carrier mobility enhancement strategies for 2D semiconductor‐based field‐effect transistors considering the role of intrinsic defects, electrode contact interfaces, dielectric engineering, and lattice strain engineering.

Two‐Dimensional Layered Oxides and the Two‐Dimensionalization of Bulk Oxides for Post‐Moore Information Devices

open access: yesInformation &Functional Materials, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 207-232, September 2026.
This review systematically summarizes two‐dimensional layered and nonlayered oxides, focusing on their synthesis, properties, and post‐Moore applications in transistors, gate dielectrics, optoelectronics, and ferroelectric/magnetic devices. It also discusses challenges including scalable growth and interface engineering, along with future industrial ...

Roadmap for the implementation of particle minibeam therapy

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Particle minibeam therapy (PMBT) has emerged as an advanced modality within spatially fractionated radiation therapy, using the physical properties of protons, ions, and electrons to achieve superior normal tissue sparing whilst preserving spatial dose distribution at depths that are unachievable in conventional kV or MV X‐rays.
