📁 Microcanonical Thermodynamics: Phase Transitions in ’Small’ Systems

✍ Dieter H E Gross 📂 Library 📅 2001 🏛 World Scientific Publishing Company 🌐 English

Boltzmann's formula S = In[W(E)] defines the microcanonical ensemble. The usual textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to the canonical ensemble introduced by Gibbs. This has the main advantage of easier analytical calculations, but there is a price

✍ Ricard V. Sole 📂 Library 📅 2011 🏛 Princeton University Press 🌐 English

Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system--have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes into a solid or boils to become a gas. How might phase transitions shed light on important problems in biological and ecological complex sy

This thesis presents a general theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for information processing. Ever since Maxwell's demon was proposed in the nineteenth century, the relationship between thermodynamics and information has attracted much attention because it concerns the foundation of the second
