Tejero2nd ed. 2021.Cham, Switzerland :Springer,[2021]©20211 online resource (XVI, 437 p. 119 illus., 2 illus. in color.) 3-030-75431-6 Basics -- Mechanics -- Thermodynamics -- Statistical Physics -- Ideal Systems -- Microcanonical Ensemble -- Canonical Ensemble -- Grand Canonical Ensemble -- Non-ideal Systems -- Classical Systems with Interactions -- Phases of Matter -- Phase Transitions -- More Advanced Topics -- Critical Phenomena -- Interfaces -- Topological Defects -- Phase Transformation Kinetics.This textbook gradually introduces students to the statistical mechanical study of the different phases of matter and to the phase transitions between them. It uses simple yet fully detailed models of both hard and soft matter systems to demonstrate core concepts, developing the subject matter in a thorough and accessible pedagogical manner throughout. Starting from an introduction to basic thermodynamics and statistical physics, the book progresses from ideal, non-interacting systems to real systems exhibiting classical interactions and phase transitions. It concludes with a selection of more advanced topics, such as the renormalisation group approach to critical phenomena, the density functional theory of interfaces, and kinematic aspects of the phase transformation process. This updated second edition features a considerably expanded study of the topology of the phases, including applications to modern problems such as topological defects of nematic liquid crystals and the topological phase transition of a two-dimensional spin system. Along with a complete introductory overview of the theory of phase transitions, this textbook provides students with ample material for deeper study. References include suggestions for more detailed treatments and six appendices supply overviews of the mathematical tools employed in the text.Phase transformations (Statistical physics)Phase transformations (Statistical physics)530.474Baus Marc894167Tejero Carlos F.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484335703321Equilibrium Statistical Physics1997357UNINA01324nam 2200337Ia 450 99639163650331620221108055607.0(CKB)1000000000667488(EEBO)2264209280(OCoLC)08047481(EXLCZ)99100000000066748819820107d1665 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|London's remembrancer, or, A true accompt of every particular weeks christnings and mortality in all the years of pestilence within the cognizance of the bills of mortality, being xviii years[electronic resource]London Printed and are to be sold by E.
