This course is an
introduction to statistical physics. The aim of statistical physics is to
model systems with an extremely large number of degrees of freedom. This PDF
covers the following topics related to Statistical Physics : Introduction to
statistical physics: ’more is different’, Combinatorics and emergent laws,
Microcanonical ensemble, Canonical Ensemble, Grand canonical ensemble, Ideal
systems and entropic forces, Statistical ensembles and thermodynamics,
Systems in interaction and phase transitions, Quantum statistics.
This note describes the following topics Thermodynamics, Summary of probability theory, Equilibrium statistical mechanics, Ideal gases, Interacting systems and phase transitions, Density matrix and áuctuation dissipation theorem, Brownian motion and stochastic dynamics, Boltzmann transport equation.
This book is written by Giovanni Gallavotti and a clear book presents a critical and modern analysis of the conceptual foundations of statistical mechanics as laid down in Boltzmanns works. The author emphasises the relation between microscopic reversibility and macroscopic irreversibility, explaining fundamental concepts in detail.
This note covers the following topics The Canonical Ensemble, Extensive and intensive variables, The example of a perfect gas, Thermodynamics, The Grand Canonical Ensemble, The Degenerate Fermi Gas, Reminder of Classical Mechanics and Classical Statistical Physics.
