Description

Product Description This is a textbook which gradually introduces the student to the statistical mechanical study of the different phases of matter and to the phase transitions between them. Throughout, only simple models of both ordinary and soft matter are used but these are studied in full detail. The subject is developed in a pedagogical manner, starting from the basics, going from the simple ideal systems to the interacting systems, and ending with the more modern topics. The textbook provides the student with a complete overview, intentionally at an introductory level, of the theory of phase transitions. All equations and deductions are included. From the Back Cover This textbook gradually introduces students to the statistical mechanical study of the different phases of matter and to the phase transitions between them. It uses simple yet fully detailed models of both hard and soft matter systems to demonstrate core concepts, developing the subject matter in a thorough and accessible pedagogical manner throughout. Starting from an introduction to basic thermodynamics and statistical physics, the book progresses from ideal, non-interacting systems to real systems exhibiting classical interactions and phase transitions. It concludes with a selection of more advanced topics, such as the renormalisation group approach to critical phenomena, the density functional theory of interfaces, and kinematic aspects of the phase transformation process. This updated second edition features a considerably expanded study of the topology of the phases, including applications to modern problems such as topological defects of nematic liquid crystals and the topological phase transition of a two-dimensional spin system. Along with a complete introductory overview of the theory of phase transitions, this textbook provides students with ample material for deeper study. References include suggestions for more detailed treatments and six appendices supply overviews of the mathematical tools employed in the text. About the Author Marc Baus has been teaching the statistical mechanics course at the Faculté des Sciences of the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium for several years. As a Directeur de Recherches of the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique, he has published more than a hundred research papers in the areas of plasma physics and phase transitions . Carlos F. Tejero has been professor of thermodynamics and statistical physics at the Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain. As Investigador Principal he has directed various investigations in the field of phases of matter and soft matter. Both authors have collaborated for more than thirty years.
