| Title |
Statistical thermodynamics II |
| Description |
After briefly reviewing the basic notions of statistical mechanics,
special "ideal" quantum systems are analyzed in some detail. Examples are
spin models, the Bose-Einstein condensate, Fermi gases, as well as statistical
ensembles made of phonons or photons. Subsequently we turn to the
theory of phase transitions, illustrating the setup with the Van der
Waals gas. The general Landau theory of phase transitions is
introduced, and the associated concept of spontaneous symmetry
breaking is studied. In the last part of the lecture we consider
non-equilibrium phenomena, introducing the Boltzmann equation and
defining the concept of linear response theory. |
