Annotation. This book is an elaboration of the author's lecture notes in a graduate course in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The original notes supplemented topics lacking in traditional texts. In its present augmented version the book may be used as the sole or primary text in a one-semester course in thermodynamics/statistical mechanics or as an adjunct text in a two-semester course. Statistical mechanics is the application of physics or chemistry at finite temperature T and can encompass as many topics involving these disciplines as one wishes. As much as the quality of presentation, it is the choice of topics that distinguishes from one another the scores of textbooks with the word "statistical" or "statistics" in the title. The present book is intended to respond to the curiosity of the reader about fundamental principles. It shows in detail how one solves the problems that arise in connection with these principles. There are some 50 problems scattered throughout the text and a similar number of illustrations. All the mathematics is self-contained, including the development of field-theoretic methods in the later, more difficult, chapters. The emphasis is not just on the topics, but on the mathematics used to understand them and on the methods of solution. The book starts by answering the following questions: Where does thermodynamics "come from"? What is temperature and how might one achieve negative temperatures (metastable states) for interacting spins? What are the various free energies and how do they differ? What is an equation of state and what is the nature of thermodynamic phase transitions? Why does the modern theory of critical-point phenomena disagree with van derWaals' original Law of Corresponding States?The book also includes a number of nonstandard topics, such as the exact construction of the thermodynamic properties in one-dimensional systems and the generalization to "transfe.

The New Walford Guide To Reference Resources written by Ray Lester and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005 with Best books categories.
The New Walford highlights the best resources to use when undertaking a search for accurate and relevant information, saving you precious time and effort. For those looking for a selective and evaluative reference resource that really delivers on its promise, look no further. In addition to print sources, The New Walford naturally covers an extensive range of e-reference sources such as digital databanks, digital reference services, electronic journal collections, meta-search engines, networked information services, open archives, resource discovery services and websites of premier organizations in both the public and private sectors. But rather than supplying a list of all available known resources as a web search engine might, The New Walford subject specialists have carefully selected and evaluated available resources to provide a definitive list of the most appropriate and useful. With an emphasis on quality and sustainability, the subject specialists have been careful to assess the differing ways that information is framed and communicated in different subject areas. As a result the resource evaluations in each subject area are prefaced by an introductory overview of the structure of the relevant literature. This ensures that The New Walford is clear, easy-to-use and intuitive. - Publisher.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS JOSEPH EDWARD MAYER... Associate Professor of Chemistry, Columbia University AND MARIA GOEPPERT MAYER Lecturer in Chemistry, Columbia University NEW YORK JOHN WILEY SONS, INC. LONDON CHAPMAN HALL, LIMITED 1940 PREFACE The rapid increase, in the past few decades, of knowledge concerning the structure of molecules has made the science of statistical mechanics a practical tool for interpreting and correlating experimental data. It is therefore desirable to present this subject in a simple manner in order to make it easily available to scientists whose familiarity with theoretical physics is limited. This book, which grew out of lectures and seminars given to graduate students in chemistry and physics, aims to fulfill this purpose. The development of quantum mechanics has altered both the axio matic foundation and the details of the methods of statistical mechanics. Although the results of a large number of statistical calculations are un affected by the introduction of quantum mechanics, the chemists interest happens to be largely in fields where quantum effects are im portant. Consequently, in our presentation, the laws of statistical mechanics are founded on the concepts of both quantum and classical mechanics. The equivalence of the two methods has been stressed, but the quantum-mechanical language has been favored. We believe that this introduction of quantum statistics at the beginning simplifies rather than puts a burden upon the initial concepts. It is to be emphasized that the simpler ideas of quantum mechanics, which are all that is used, are as widely known as the more abstract theorems of classical mechanics which they replace. Simplicity of presentationrather than brevity and elegance has been our endeavor. However, we have not consciously sacrificed rigor. Care has been taken to make the book suitable for reference by sum marizing and tabulating final equations as well as by an attempt to make individual chapters complete in themselves without too much reference to previous subjects. All the theorems and results of mechanics and quantum mechanics which are used later have been summarized, largely without proof, in Chapter 2. The last section, 2k, on Einstein-Bose and Fermi-Dirac systems, ties up closely with Chapters 5 and 16 only. Chapters 3 and 4 contain the derivation of the fundamental statistical laws on which the book is based. Chapter 10 is prerequisite for Chap ters l 1 tol4. Otherwise, individual subj ects may be taken up in different order. vii viii PREFACE In Chapters 7 to 9 considerable space is devoted to the calculation of thermodynamic functions for perfect gases, which was considered justi fied by the value of the results for the chemist. These chapters may be omitted by readers uninterested in the subject. Chapters 13 and 14 on the imperfect gas and condensation theory, respectively, are somewhat more complicated than the remainder, but are included because of our special interest in the subject. The aim of the book is to give the reader a clear understanding of principles and to prepare him thoroughly for the use of the science and the study of recent papers. Many of the simpler applications are dis cussed in some detail, but in general language without comparison with experiment. The more complicated subjects have been omitted, as have been those for which at present only partial solutions are obtained. This choicehas excluded many of the contemporary developments, especially the interesting work of J. G. Kirkwood, L. Onsager, H. Eyring, and W, F. Giauque. In conclusion we express our gratitude to Professors Max Born, Karl F. Hcrzfeld, and Edward Teller, who have read and criticized several parts of the manuscript. We also thank Dr. Elliot Montroll, who aided in reading proof and who made many helpful suggestions.

This new version of a classic updates much of the material in earlier editions, including the first chapter, on the history of the field. Important modifications reflect major discoveries of the past decades. A historical perspective is maintained throughout. The reader is drawn into the process of discovery: starting with a phenomenon, finding plausible explanations and competing theories — and finally, the solution.The theory of magnetism is practically a metaphor for theoretical physics. The very first quantum many-body theory (Bethe's ansatz) was devised for magnetic chains, just as mean-field theory was invented a century ago by Weiss to explain Curie's Law.The first two chapters of this book are immensely readable, taking us from prehistory to the “spin valves” of the most recent past. Topics in subsequent chapters include: angular momenta and spin (Chapter 3), quantum theory of simple systems, followed by increasingly technical insights into ordered and random systems, thermal fluctuations, phase transitions, chaos and the like. Contemporary developments in nanotechnology now seek to take advantage of the electron's spin as well as of its charge. The time is not far off when nano-circuits made entirely of silicon exhibit such many-body properties as superconductivity or ferromagnetism — without any superconducting materials or magnetic ions being present. The reader of this book will be prepared for such exotic twenty-first century applications.Daniel C Mattis, BS, MS, PhD, Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), is a frequent lecturer at research institutions and the author of several textbooks and numerous research articles. His expertise includes many-body theory, electrical conductivity, quantum theory of magnetism and most recently, nanotechnology. Prof. Mattis is on the editorial panel for high-temperature superconductivity of the International Journal of Modern Physics B and Modern Physics Letters B, both published by World Scientific. Currently serving as Professor in the Physics department at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, at various times he has been visiting Professor at Yale University (New Haven), State University of New York (Buffalo), Temple University (Philadelphia), and served as “Wei-Lun Visiting Professor” at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. A founding member of the “Few-Body Physics” section of the APS, he has also served as Chair of the standing committee of the APS for the “International Freedom of Scientists.”
