  • Applications Of Percolation Theoryby M. Sahini

    CRC Press 1994; US$ 83.95

    A detailed graduate text discussing those applications for which there are well-defined percolations. more...

  • Basic Superfluidsby A. M. Guenault

    CRC Press 2002; US$ 52.95

    The author describes superfluidity as the jewel in the crown of low temperature physics. At low enough temperatures, every substance in thermal equilibrium must become ordered. Since some materials remain fluid to the lowest temperatures, it is a fascinating question as to how this ordering can take place. One possibility is the formation of a superfluid state, a state in which there is macroscopic quantum order, effectively quantum mechanics in a tea-cup. These ideas are developed in chapter 1. The book assumes some basic knowledge of quantum, statistical and thermal physics, and builds on this background to give a readable introduction to the three superfluids of low temperature physics. A short chapter describing experimental techniques... more...

  • Statistical Mechanicsby S K Ma

    World Scientific 1985; US$ 49.40

    This is a unique and exciting graduate and advanced undergraduate text written by a highly respected physicist who had made significant contributions to the subject. This book conveys to the reader that statistical mechanics is a growing and lively subject. It deals with many modern topics from a physics standpoint in a very physical way. Particular emphasis is given to the fundamental assumption of statistical mechanics S=1n and its logical foundation. Calculational rules are derived without resorting to abstract ensemble theory. more...

  • Statistical Mechanicsby B. Widom

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 54.00

    This is an introduction to statistical mechanics, intended to be used either in an undergraduate physical chemistry course or by beginning graduate students. Highly illustrated with numerous exercises and worked solutions it provides a concise, up-to-date treatise of statistical mechanics and is ideally suited to use on one semester courses. more...

  • Methods of Statistical Physicsby Tomoyasu Tanaka

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 80.00

    This graduate-level textbook on thermal physics covers classical thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and its applications. The mathematical formulations are accessible and entirely self-contained. It is therefore the ideal companion text for graduate students studying courses on complex analysis, classical mechanics, classical electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics. more...

  • Bose-Einstein Condensation in Dilute Gasesby C. J. Pethick; H. Smith

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 62.00

    Since the experimental discovery in 1995 of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic gases, investigating such condensates has become one of the most active areas in contemporary physics. Intended for graduate-level students and researchers, this textbook (complete with problem sets) provides an up-to-date and detailed introduction to this exciting new subject. more...

  • Statistical Physicsby L P Kadanoff

    World Scientific 2000; US$ 111.80

    The material presented in this invaluable textbook has been tested in two courses. One of these is a graduate-level survey of statistical physics; the other, a rather personal perspective on critical behavior. Thus, this book defines a progression starting at the book-learning part of graduate education and ending in the midst of topics at the research level. To supplement the research-level side the book includes some research papers, several of these are classics in the field. more...

  • Statistical Mechanics Made Simpleby D C Mattis

    World Scientific 2002; US$ 62.40

    This book is an elaboration of the author?s lecture notes in a graduate course in statistical physics and thermodynamics, augmented by some material suitable for self-teaching as well as for undergraduate study. The first 4 or 5 chapters are suitable for an undergraduate course for engineers and physicists in Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics and include detailed study of the various ensembles and their connections to applied thermodynamics. The Debye law of specific heats and reasons for deviations from the Debye formulas are covered, as are the Einstein theories of Brownian motion, black-body radiation and specific heat of solids. Van der Waals gases and the reason for the apparent failure of his Law of Corresponding States are discussed. more...

  • Statistical Physicsby D J Amit; Y Verbin

    World Scientific 1998; US$ 75.40

    This invaluable textbook is an introduction to statistical physics that has been written primarily for self-study. It provides a comprehensive approach to the main ideas of statistical physics at the level of an introductory course, starting from the kinetic theory of gases and proceeding all the way to Bose?Einstein and Fermi?Dirac statistics. Each idea is brought out with ample motivation and clear, step-by-step, deductive exposition. The key points and methods are presented and discussed on the basis of concrete representative systems, such as the paramagnet, Einstein?s solid, the diatomic gas, black body radiation, electric conductivity in metals and superfluidity. more...

  • Phase Transition Dynamicsby Akira Onuki

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 112.00

    Phase Transition Dynamics provides a fully comprehensive treatment of the study of phase transitions. Building on the statistical mechanics of phase transitions, covered in many introductory textbooks, it will be essential reading for researchers and advanced graduate students in physics, chemistry, metallurgy and polymer science. more...
