This virtual symposium focuses on using equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics to address significant problems in physical chemistry and chemical physics. It highlights the importance ...
Heinz, S. 2003 Statistical Mechanics of Turbulent Flows. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo (ISBN: 3-540-40103-2). The simulation of turbulent reacting flows, connected with ...
Modeling of systems with emergent behavior. The course has two components: (1) basic and intermediate statistical mechanics, and (2) application of the course methods to a case study, chosen from ...
The Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical ...
Statistical mechanics lies at the interface between probability theory and physics. It goes back to the physicists Clausius and in particular Gibbs and Boltzmann. Its aim is to understand the ...
This course was open to both graduate and undergraduate students, with separate assignments and examinations prepared for each group to recognize their different level of academic preparation, ...
How do they get us off the hook? In classical statistical mechanics, the probabilities that define entropy reflect our ignorance, as lamented above. Quantum mechanics, by contrast, famously ...
Physicists at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge have successfully produced the first two-dimensional Bose glass, an unusual phase of matter that defies conventional ideas in statistical mechanics.
By establishing a connection between quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and general relativity, this work opens new ...
During the two years in the program, students are required to demonstrate proficiency in the core areas (Electromagnetism, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Classical Mechanics), and be ...
