Statistical Physics II introduces nonequilibrium theories of
statistical mechanics from the viewpoint of the
fluctuation-disipation theorem. Emphasis is placed on the
relaxation from nonequilibrium to equilibrium states, the response
of a system to an external disturbance, and general problems
involved in deriving a macroscopic physical process from more basic
underlying processes. Fundamental concepts and methods are
stressed, rather than the numerous individual applications.
This book provides a series of concise lectures on the fundamental
theories of statistical mechanics, carefully chosen examples and a
number of problems with complete solutions.
Modern physics has opened the way for a thorough examination of
infra-structure of nature and understanding of the properties of
matter from an atomistic point of view. Statistical mechanics is an
essential bridge between the laws of nature on a microscopic scale
and the macroscopic behaviour of matter. A good training in
statistical mechanics thus provides a basis for modern physics and
is indispensable to any student in physics, chemistry, biophysics
and engineering sciences who wishes to work in these rapidly
developing scientific and technological fields.
The collection of examples and problems is comprehensive. The
problems are grouped in order of increasing difficulty.
