By Mário J. de Oliveira

This textbook presents an exposition of equilibrium thermodynamics and its functions to numerous parts of physics with specific recognition to part transitions and demanding phenomena. The purposes contain numerous components of condensed subject physics and comprise additionally a bankruptcy on thermochemistry. section transitions and important phenomena are taken care of in line with the fashionable improvement of the sphere, in keeping with the tips of universality and at the Widom scaling concept. for every subject, a mean-field or Landau concept is gifted to explain qualitatively the part transitions. those theories contain the van der Waals concept of the liquid-vapor transition, the Hildebrand-Heitler conception of standard combos, the Griffiths-Landau concept for multicritical issues in multicomponent structures, the Bragg-Williams conception of order-disorder in alloys, the Weiss conception of ferromagnetism, the Néel thought of antiferromagnetism, the Devonshire conception for ferroelectrics and Landau-de Gennes conception of liquid crystals.
This new version offers multiplied sections on section transitions, liquid crystals and magnetic structures, for all difficulties targeted strategies are supplied. it truly is meant for college students in physics and chemistry and gives a different mix of thorough theoretical rationalization and presentation of purposes in either parts. bankruptcy summaries, highlighted necessities and issues of suggestions allow a self sustained procedure and deepen the data. it's meant for college kids in physics and chemistry and gives a distinct mixture of thorough theoretical rationalization and presentation of functions in either components. bankruptcy summaries, highlighted necessities and issues of options allow a self sustained technique and deepen the knowledge.
