By Charles Kittel, Herbert Kroemer
For upper-division classes in thermodynamics or statistical mechanics, Kittel and Kroemer bargains a latest method of thermal physics that's in response to the concept all actual platforms might be defined by way of their discrete quantum states, instead of drawing on 19th-century classical mechanics concepts.

Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena. Vol.1: Exact results.
It is a graduate-level e-book facing interfacial phenomena - the behaviour of interfaces in ordered and disordered structures, the scaling homes of interfaces, sturdy versions of interfaces and wetting.
Introductory Statistical Thermodynamics
Introductory Statistical Thermodynamics is a textual content for an introductory one-semester path in statistical thermodynamics for upper-level undergraduate and graduate scholars in physics and engineering. The publication deals a excessive point of aspect in derivations of all equations and effects. this knowledge is important for college students to understand tough options in physics which are had to flow directly to greater point classes.
Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria (3rd Edition)
The vintage advisor to combos, thoroughly up to date with new versions, theories, examples, and information. effective separation operations and plenty of different chemical strategies depend on a radical realizing of the houses of gaseous and liquid combos. Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria, 3rd version is a scientific, sensible advisor to examining, correlating, and predicting thermodynamic homes utilized in mixture-related phase-equilibrium calculations.
A good number of complicated phenomena in lots of clinical fields convey power-law habit, reflecting a hierarchical or fractal constitution. a lot of those phenomena appear to be vulnerable to description utilizing techniques drawn from thermodynamics or statistical mechanics, fairly methods concerning the maximization of entropy and of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics and traditional legislation in a average method.
