Kostya Trachenko

Theory of Liquids

From Excitations to Thermodynamics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This book introduces a general theory of liquid thermodynamics and explains how recent developments have finally enabled our understanding of most basic liquid properties such as heat capacity and other characteristics. This is a useful reference for researchers and graduate students in condensed matter physics and chemistry"--
