Nonequilibrium statistical physics: linear irreversible processes

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

While systems at equilibrium are treated in a unified manner through the partition function formalism, the statistical physics of out-of-equilibrium systems covers a large variety of situations that are often without apparent connection. This book proposes a unified perspective on the whole set of systems near equilibrium.
