This graduate textbook covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics. With one of the main propositions being to avoid terms such as "obviously" and "it is easy to show", this treatise is an easy-to-read introduction into this traditional, yet vibrant field.
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and physical kinetics De Gruyter Textbook Halid / Lyapilin Igor I Bikkin
Buying this book was a wise thing to do. Advertised as a graduate-level text, the book is quite available to an advanced undergrad. The authors expect from the reader only some basic knowledge of physics and math, and they lead the reader all the way from basics to big issues.The book opens with a pretty simple and unassuming introduction into the phenomenology of irreversible processes - entropy, the Onsager theory, the Glansdorff-Prigogine universal evolution criterion, dynamical chaos.
The second chapter, too, is pretty simple and friendly. It covers the Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations. The third chapter deals, in a reasonably detailed way, with the Luiouville equation, the chain of Bogoliubov equations, the Boltzmann theory and the Enskog-Chapman method
This is where the introductory part ends and the authors switch to big and serious things. They address the kinetic equation for electrons and phonons in conducting crystals, with an accurate explanation of the transition to the hydrodynamic description. Then goes the theory of linear response of the electric conductivity to an external mechanical perturbation.
The authors explain at length, and in a reader-friendly manner, the application of the nonequilibrium statistical operator.
At the end of the book, they discuss the response of a highly nonequilibrium system to a weak measuring field, and finally describe the master equation approach (the Zwanzig kinetic equation, the Robertson projection operator, etc).
All in all, a sufficiently comprehensive and very well written textbook.
Strongly recommended to any graduate student concentrating in the condenced matter physics.
Definitely, five stars.
