Beschreibung
This monograph develops a unified microscopic basis for phases and phase changes of bulk matter and small systems in terms of classical physics. The origins of such phase changes are derived from simple but physically relevant models of how transitions between rigid crystalline, glassy and fluid states occur, how phase equilibria arise, and how bulk properties evolve from those of small systems.
This monograph develops a unified microscopic basis for phases and phase changes of bulk matter and small systems, in terms of classical physics. It describes the thermodynamics of ensembles of particles and explains phase transition in gaseous and liquid systems. The origins of such phase changes are derived from simple but physically relevant models of how transitions occur between rigid and fluid states, of how phase equilibria arise, and how they differ for small and large systems.
Describes the thermodynamics of ensembles of particles Explains phase transition in gaseous and liquid systems Both a reference book for researchers and a textbook for students Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
