GraduateDescriere
The
purpose
of
this
textbook
is
to
introduce
the
student
to
a
basic
area
of
mac-
scopic
physics,
namely
the
statistical
mechanical
study
of
the
different
phases
of
matter,
as
well
as
the
phase
transitions
between
them.
Although
many
books
on
statistical
physics,
for
both
equilibrium
and
non-equilibrium
systems,
are
already
available,
they
largely
differ
in
contents.
This
generally
re
ects
not
only
the
diff-
ent
interests
of
their
authors,
but
also
the
epoch
in
which
they
were
written.
For
instance,
the
early
books
did
usually
devote
much
space
to
problems
of
the
solid
state,
whereaslater
ones
do
include,
moreover,several
aspects
of
the
liquid
state.
At
present,
however,
the
main
emphasis
in
physics
is
on
soft
matter
(e.
g.
liquid
cr-
tals,
colloids,
polymers),
and
therefore
these
particular
states
of
matter
have
also
been
includedin
this
volume.
The
main
purposeof
this
textbookwill
consist,
hence,
in
providing
its
students
with
a
rst
introduction,
within
the
general
framework
of
equilibrium
statistical
physics,
to
a
much
larger
variety
of
phases
and
phase
tran-
tions
than
was
previously
the
case
for
textbooks
of
statistical
mechanics.
Many
of
these
novel
topics
do,
of
course,
deserve
a
more
detailed
study
than
the
one
which
can
be
provided
here.
Indeed,
in
the
spirit
of
a
rst
introduction,
only
very
simple
models
of
these
phases
will
be
given,
but
more
detailed
informationcan
be
found
in
the
suggestions
for
further
reading
given
in
the
References.

Recenzii
From
the
reviews:
"This is an undergraduate textbook on equilibrium statistical mechanics, based on lectures given by the authors at Université Libre de Bruxelles and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. … The book has four parts and a few appendices. … This … probably intended to provide students a reassuring perspective on the scope of statistical physics." (Nicolae Angelescu, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 k)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
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
developed
in
a
pedagogical
manner,
starting
from
the
basics,
going
from
the
simple
ideal
systems
to
the
interacting
systems,
and
ending
with
the
more
modern
topics.
The
latter
include
the
renormalisation
group
approach
to
critical
phenomena,
the
density
functional
theory
of
interfaces,
the
topological
defects
of
nematic
liquid
crystals
and
the
kinematic
aspects
of
the
phase
transformation
process.
This
textbook
provides
the
student
with
a
complete
overview, intentionally
at
an
introductory
level,
of
the
theory
of
phase
transitions.
References
include
suggestions
for
more
detailed
treatments
and
four
appendices
supply
overviews
of
the
mathematical
tools
employed
in
the
text.
