Statistical Physics II Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Statistical Physics II introduces nonequilibrium theories of statistical mechanics from the viewpoint of the fluctuation-disipation theorem. Emphasis is placed on the relaxation from nonequilibrium to equilibrium states, the response of a system to an external disturbance, and general problems involved in deriving a macroscopic physical process from more basic underlying processes. Fundamental concepts and methods are stressed, rather than the numerous individual applications.Kubo, Ryogo is the author of 'Statistical Physics II Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics', published 1991 under ISBN 9783540538332 and ISBN 354053833X.
