Fundamentals of Statistical Physics of Materials

This publication is the first textbook on statistical physics for students specializing in physics, chemistry and mechanics of materials and condensed-matter physics (solid state physics). It examines in detail the basic methods of statistical physics and those of its most important models that are widely used in condensed-matter physics. The textbook includes both equilibrium statistical physics and physical kinetics.
For students and post-graduate students of the faculties of materials sciences and the physics and chemical faculties of higher educational institutions.
