5.70/10.546/20.465 Statistical Thermodynamics
Fall 2009
Instructor: Jianshu Cao
Lecture: TR9-10.30 (1-273)
Subject Description:
Develops classical equilibrium statistical mechanical concepts for application to chemical physics problems. Basic concepts of ensemble theory formulated on the basis of thermodynamic fluctuations. Examples of applications include Ising models, lattice models of binding, ionic and non-ionic solutions, liquid theory, polymer and protein conformations, phase transition, and pattern formation. Introduces computational techniques with examples of liquid and polymer simulations.
