Description for Statistical Mechanics for Chemists
Hardcover. A graduate-level text, this book introduces the concepts and equations of statistical mechanics for the chemist. It presents a treatment of the fundamentals, beginning with ideas and functions followed by a demonstration of applications and thermodynamic properties. Num Pages: 356 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PHH; PHS; PNRW. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 160 x 27. Weight in Grams: 674.
With an emphasis on finding solutions to common problems in chemistry, topics covered include: The Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution for molecules in a gas, partition functions, and calculation of thermodynamic properties; ensembles (including the grand canonical ensemble), independent particles, and thermodynamic properties of atoms and molecules; and practical introductions to quantum statistical mechanics and classical statistical mechanics. Also covered are applications to electrons in metals and semiconductors; bosons and fermions; imperfect gases; transport properties; dipole moments in electric and magnetic fields; distribution functions and correlation functions in fluids; and time-dependent techniques for handling both simple and modern dynamical problems--the Liouville equation, ...
