ISBN: 0387226605 ISBN-13: 9780387226606 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $52.24 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: February 2005 Annotation: Statistical Physics bridges the properties of a macroscopic system and the microscopic behavior of its constituting particles, otherwise impossible due to the giant magnitude of Avogadro's number. Numerous systems of today's key technologies - such as semiconductors or lasers - are macroscopic quantum objects; only statistical physics allows for understanding their fundamentals. Therefore, this graduate text also focuses on particular applications such as the properties of electrons in solids with applications, and radiation thermodynamics and the greenhouse effect. |
