ISBN: 0198515677 ISBN-13: 9780198515678 Publisher: Clarendon Press OUR PRICE: $180.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: April 2002 Annotation: Brownian motion - the incessant motion of small particles suspended in a fluid - is an important topic in statistical physics and physical chemistry. This book studies its origin in molecular scale fluctuations, its description in terms of random process theory and also in terms of statistical mechanics. A number of new applications of these descriptions to physical and chemical processes, as well as statistical mechanical derivations and the mathematical background are discussed in detail. Graduate students, lecturers, and researchers in statistical physics and physical chemistry will find this an interesting and useful reference work. |
