Synopsis Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics: Principles and Concepts by : Avijit Lahiri
Equilibrium and Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics is a source-book of great value to college and university students embarking upon a serious reading of Statistical Mechanics, and is likely to be of interest to teachers of the subject as well. Written in a lucid style, the book builds up the subject from basics, and goes on to quite advanced and modern developments, giving an overview of the entire framework of statistical mechanics. The equilibrium ensembles of quantum and classical statistical mechanics are introduced at length, indicating their relation to equilibrium states of thermodynamic systems, and the applications of these ensembles in the case of the ideal gas are worked out, pointing out the relevance of the ideal gas in respect of a number of real-life systems. The application to interacting systems is then taken up by way of explaining the virial expansion of a dilute gas. The book then deals with a number of foundational questions relating to the existence of the thermodynamic limit and to the equivalence of the various equilibrium ensembles. The relevance of the thermodynamic limit in explaining phase transitions is indicated with reference to the Yang-Lee theory and the Kirkwood-Salsburg equations for correlation functions. The statistical mechanics of interacting systems is then taken up again, with reference to the 1D and 2D Ising model and to the spin glass model of disordered systems. Applications of the Mean field theory are worked out, explaining the Landau-Ginzburg theory, which is then followed by the renormalization group approach to phase transitions. Interacting systems in the quantum context are referred to, addressing separately the cases of interacting bosons and fermions. The case of the weakly interacting bosons is explained in details, while the Landau theory for fermi liquids is also explained in outline. The book then goes on to a modern but readable account of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, explaining the link with irreversible thermodynamcs. After an exposition of the Boltzmann equations and the linear response theory illustrated with reference to the hydrodynamic model, it explains the statistical mechanics of reduced systems, in the context of a number of reduction schemes. This is followed by an account of the relevance of dynamical chaos in laying down the foundations of classical statistical mechanics, where the SRB distributon is introduced in the context of non-equilibrium steady states, with reference to which the principle of minimum entropy production is explaned. A number of basic fluctuation relations are then worked out, pointing out their relation to irreversible thermodynamics. Finally, the book explains the relevance of quantum chaos in addressing foundational issues in quantum statistical mechanics, beginning with Berry’s conjecture and then going on to an exposition of the eigenstate thermalization (ETH) hypothesis, indicating how the latter is relevant in explaining the processes of equilibriation and thermalization in thermodynamic systems and their sub-systems.

Synopsis Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics by : Robert Zwanzig
This is a presentation of the main ideas and methods of modern nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. It is the perfect introduction for anyone in chemistry or physics who needs an update or background in this time-dependent field. Topics covered include fluctuation-dissipation theorem; linear response theory; time correlation functions, and projection operators. Theoretical models are illustrated by real-world examples and numerous applications such as chemical reaction rates and spectral line shapes are covered. The mathematical treatments are detailed and easily understandable and the appendices include useful mathematical methods like the Laplace transforms, Gaussian random variables and phenomenological transport equations.

Synopsis Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics by : James H. Luscombe
Statistical mechanics provides a framework for relating the properties of macroscopic systems (large collections of atoms, such as in a solid) to the microscopic properties of its parts. However, what happens when macroscopic systems are not in thermal equilibrium, where time is not only a relevant variable, but also essential? That is the province of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics – there are many ways for systems to be out of equilibrium! The subject is governed by fewer general principles than equilibrium statistical mechanics and consists of a number of different approaches for describing nonequilibrium systems. Financial markets are analyzed using methods of nonequilibrium statistical physics, such as the Fokker-Planck equation. Any system of sufficient complexity can be analyzed using the methods of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The Boltzmann equation is used frequently in the analysis of systems out of thermal equilibrium, from electron transport in semiconductors to modeling the early Universe following the Big Bang. This book provides an accessible yet very thorough introduction to nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, building on the author's years of teaching experience. Covering a broad range of advanced, extension topics, it can be used to support advanced courses on statistical mechanics, or as a supplementary text for core courses in this field. Key Features: Features a clear, accessible writing style which enables the author to take a sophisticated approach to the subject, but in a way that is suitable for advanced undergraduate students and above Presents foundations of probability theory and stochastic processes and treats principles and basic methods of kinetic theory and time correlation functions Accompanied by separate volumes on thermodynamics and equilibrium statistical mechanics, which can be used in conjunction with this book

Synopsis Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids by : Denis J. Evans
"There is a symbiotic relationship between theoretical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics on the one hand and the theory and practice of computer simulation on the other. Sometimes, the initiative for progress has been with the pragmatic requirements of computer simulation and at other times, the initiative has been with the fundamental theory of nonequilibrium processes. This book summarises progress in this field up to 1990"--Publisher's description.

Synopsis Elements of Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics by : V. Balakrishnan
This book deals with the basic principles and techniques of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. The importance of this subject is growing rapidly in view of the advances being made, both experimentally and theoretically, in statistical physics, chemical physics, biological physics, complex systems and several other areas. The presentation of topics is quite self-contained, and the choice of topics enables the student to form a coherent picture of the subject. The approach is unique in that classical mechanical formulation takes center stage. The book is of particular interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in engineering departments.
