Statistical Physics Including Applications to Condensed Matter

Statistical Physics Including Applications to Condensed Matter / by Claudine Hermann.

Statistical Physics bridges the properties of a macroscopic system and the microscopic behavior of its constituting particles, otherwise impossible due to the giant magnitude of Avogadro's number. Numerous systems of today's key technologies -- as e.g. semiconductors or lasers -- are macro...
