Equilibrium Statistical Physics Phases of Matter and Phase Transitions

Equilibrium Statistical Physics Phases of Matter and Phase Transitions / by M. Baus, Carlos F. Tejero.

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 dev...
