Statistical Mechanics: Exercise Problems with Model Solutions (Essential Graduate Physics)

By Konstantin K. Likharev

This is a supplement to K. Likharev's lecture notes on Statistical Mechanics ( Part SM of his Essential Graduate Physics series) that are available for free download from mirror sites http://commons.library.stonybrook.edu/egp/ , https://essentialgraduatephysics.org/ , and https://sites.google.com/site/likharevegp/ . The supplement includes detailed solutions of 156 problems on topics including thermodynamics, basic statistical ensembles and probability distributions, ideal classical and quantum gases, phase transitions, fluctuations, and introductory kinetics including electrical and thermal conductivity and thermoelectric phenomena. These solutions (with some color elements in graphics) are also available for free download from the second of the listed sites. About the author: Konstantin K. Likharev received the Candidate (Ph.D.) degree in Physics from Moscow State University, Russia in 1969, and the Doctor of Sciences degree from the U.S.S.R. Highest Attestation Committee in 1979. From 1969 to 1991, Dr. Likharev was a Staff Scientist at Moscow State University. In 1991 he assumed a Professorship at Stony Brook University (Distinguished Professor 2002-2017, John Toll Professor 2017-2020, Distinguished Professor Emeritus since September 2020). During his research career, Dr. Likharev worked in the fields of nonlinear classical and dissipative quantum dynamics, and solid-state physics and electronics including superconductor electronics and nanoelectronics. Dr. Likharev is an author of more than 350 publications and several patents. He is a Fellow of the APS and the IEEE .
