Explores statistical physics concepts like equiprobable microstates, entropy, and canonical ensembles, with applications in quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics.
Covers the fundamentals of classical physics, emphasizing energy transformations in systems through gas laws, work, heat, and the laws of thermodynamics.
Explores classical and quantum models to understand heat capacity in solids and discusses the relation between heat capacities at constant volume and pressure.
Explores the microcanonical and canonical ensembles, historical contributions, macrostates, microstates, and particle arrangements in statistical thermodynamics.
