Dissipative Phenomena in Condensed Matter : Some Applications Hardback
by Sushanta Dattagupta, Sanjay Puri
Part of the Springer Series in Materials Science series
Hardback
Description
From the field of nonequilibrium statistical physics, this graduate- and research-level volume treats the modeling and characterization of dissipative phenomena.
A variety of examples from diverse disciplines like condensed matter physics, materials science, metallurgy, chemical physics etc. are discussed. Dattagupta employs the broad framework of stochastic processes and master equation techniques to obtain models for a wide range of experimentally relevant phenomena such as classical and quantum Brownian motion, spin dynamics, kinetics of phase ordering, relaxation in glasses, dissipative tunneling.
It provides a pedagogical exposition of current research material and will be useful to experimentalists, computational physicists and theorists.
