{"product_id":"9783110337693","title":"Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and physical kinetics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis graduate textbook covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics. Starting from phenomenological non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the kinetic equation method discussed and demonstrated with electrons and phonons in conducting crystals. Linear response theory as well as the non-equilibrium statistical operator and the master equation approach are discussed in the course of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith one of the main propositions being to avoid terms such as \"obviously\" and \"it is easy to show\", this treatise is an easy-to-read introduction into this traditional, yet vibrant field. Problems and their well-documented solutions included at appropriate points of the narrative allow the reader to actively develop essential parts of the theory himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the content:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhenomenological thermodynamics of irreversible processes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrownian motion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinetic equations in non-equilibrium thermodynamics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinetic equation for electrons and phonons in conducting crystals \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheory of non-linear response to an external mechanical pertubation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-equilibrium statistical operator method \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse of a highly non-equilibrium system to a weakly measuring field \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster equation approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058050941168,"sku":"9783110337693","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110337693_p0.jpg?v=1763716757","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110337693","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
