Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences: Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Kubo, Ryogo; Toda, M.; Toda, Morikazu; Kubo, R.; Hashitsume, Natsuki; Saito, N.; Hashitsume, N.

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.
