In particular, hard-sphere systems represent a favorite playground in statistical mechanics, both in and out of equilibrium, as they represent the simplest models of many-body systems of interacting particles, and at higher temperature and densities they have proven to be very useful as reference systems for real fluids. Moreover, their usefulness in the realm of soft condensed matter has become increasingly recognized – for instance, the effective interaction among (sterically stabilized) colloidal particles can be tuned to almost perfectly match the hard-sphere model. These lecture notes present a brief, self-contained overview of equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical fluids, with special applications to both the structural and thermodynamic properties of systems made of particles interacting via the hard-sphere potential or closely related model potentials. In particular it addresses the exact statistical-mechanical properties of one-dimensional systems, the issue of thermodynamic (in)consistency among different routes in the context of several approximate theories, and the construction of analytical or semi-analytical approximations for the structural properties. Written pedagogically at the graduate level, with many figures, tables, photographs, and guided end-of-chapter exercises, this introductory text benefits students and newcomers to the field alike. .Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;923Amorphous substancesComplex fluidsStatistical physicsDynamical systemsPhysical chemistryThermodynamicsFluidsSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Physical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001Thermodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050Fluid- and Aerodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21026Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Amorphous substances.Complex fluids.Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Physical chemistry.Thermodynamics.Fluids.Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics.Complex Systems.Physical Chemistry.Thermodynamics.Fluid- and Aerodynamics.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.530.42Santos Andrésauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut959444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136928203321A Concise Course on the Theory of Classical Liquids2174078UNINA
