Phases of Matter and their Transitions: Concepts and Principles for Chemists, Physicists, Engineers, and Materials Scientists
Phases of Matter and their Transitions: Concepts and Principles for Chemists, Physicists, Engineers, and Materials Scientists book pdf download. It offers a balanced and self-contained treatment of the thermodynamic and structural aspects of phases and the transitions between them, covering solids, liquids, gases, and their interfaces.
The book lays the groundwork to describe particles and their interactions from the perspective of classical and quantum mechanics and compares phenomenological and statistical thermodynamics. It also examines materials with special properties, like glasses, liquid crystals, and ferroelectrics. The author has included an extensive appendix with a guide to the mathematics and theoretical models employed in this resource.
- Thorough introductions to classical and quantum mechanics, intermolecular interactions, and continuum mechanics
- Comprehensive explorations of thermodynamics, gases, liquids, and solids
- Practical discussions of surfaces, including their general aspects for solids and liquids
- Fulsome treatments of discontinuous and continuous transitions, including discussions of irreversibility and the return to equilibrium
