Statistical Thermodynamics by Erwin Schrodinger (English) Paperback Book

Description: Statistical Thermodynamics by Erwin Schrodinger Nobel Laureates brilliant attempt to develop a simple, unified standard method of dealing with all cases of statistical thermodynamics - classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, etc.. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this concise volume, one of the founder of quantum mechanics and one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the century (Nobel laureate, 1933) attempts to develop a simple, unified standard method of dealing with all cases of statistical thermodynamics (classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, etc.)The level of discussion is relatively advanced. As Professor Schrodinger remarks in the Introduction: ""It is not a first introduction for newcomers to the subject, but rather a repetitorium. The treatment of those topics which are to be found in every one of a hundred text-books is severely condensed; on the other hand, vital points which are usually passed over in all but the large monographs (such as Fowlers and Tolmans) are dealt with at greater level."" Table of Contents I. General introduction II. The method of the most probable distribution III. Discussion of the Nernst theorem IV. Examples on the second section (a) Free mass-point (ideal monatomic gas) (b) Plancks oscillator (c) Fermi oscillator V. Fluctuations VI. The method of mean values VII. The n-particle problem VIII. Evaluation of the formulae. Limiting cases The entropy constant The failure of the classical theory. Gibbs paradox Digression: Annihilation of matter? Digression on the uncertainty relation Gas-degeneration proper Weak degeneration Medium degeneration Strong degeneration (a) Strong Fermi-Dirac degeneration (b) Strong Bose-Einstein degeneration IX. The problem of radiation Appendix Long Description Nobel Laureates brilliant attempt to develop a simple, unified standard method of dealing with all cases of statistical thermodynamics -- classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, and more.The work also includes discussions of Nernst theorem, Plancks oscillator, fluctuations, the n-particle problem, problem of radiation, much more.
