Thermal physics / Charles Kittel, Herbert Kroemer. - Second edition. - xvi, 473 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.
Includes index.
Bibliography: pages xv-xvi.
Chapter 1 States of a model system -- Chapter 2 Entropy and temperature -- Chapter 3 Boltzmann distribution and Helmholtz free energy -- Chapter 4 Thermal radiation and Planck distribution -- Chapter 5 Chemical potential and Gibbs distribution -- Chapter 6 Ideal gas -- Chapter 7 Fermi and Bose gases -- Chapter 8 Heat and work -- Chapter 9 Gibbs free energy and chemical reactions -- Chapter 10 Phase transformations -- Chapter 11 Binary mixtures -- Chapter 12 Cryogenics -- Chapter 13 Semiconductor statistics -- Chapter 14 Kinetic theory -- Chapter 15 Propagation.
This book gives an elementary account of thermal physics. The subject is simple, the methods are powerful, and the results have broad applications. Probably no other physical theory is used more widely throughout science and engineering.
