Huang, Kerson, 1928-
Statistical mechanics / Kerson Huang. - Second edition. - xiv, 493 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references.
Part A. Thermodynamics and kinetic theory. Chapter 1 The laws of thermodynamics -- Chapter 2 Some applications of thermodynamics -- Chapter 3 The problem of kinetic theory -- Chapter 4 The equilibrium state of a dilute gas -- Chapter 5 Transport phenomena -- Part B Statistical mechanics -- Chapter 6 Classical statistical mechanics -- Chapter 7
Canonical ensemble and grand canonical ensemble -- Chapter 8 Quantum statistical mechanics -- Chapter 9 General properties of the partition function -- Chapter 10 Approximate Methods -- Chapter 11 Fermi Systems -- Chapter 12 Bose Systems -- Part C. Special topics in statistical mechanics -- Chapter 13 Superfluids -- Chapter 14 The Ising model -- Chapter 15 The Onsager solution -- Chapter 16 Critical Phenomena -- Chapter 17 The Landau Approach -- Chapter 18 Renormalization Group.
Unlike most other texts on the subject, this clear, concise introduction to the theory of microscopic bodies treats the modern theory of critical phenomena. Provides up-to-date coverage of recent major advances, including a self-contained description of thermodynamics and the classical kinetic theory of gases, interesting applications such as superfluids and the quantum Hall effect, several current research applications, The last three chapters are devoted to the Landau-Wilson approach to critical phenomena. Many new problems and illustrations have been added to this edition.
