About this book
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.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"A reference and text, this book treats the broadly applicable area of nonequilibrium statistical physics and concentrates the modeling and characterization of dissipative phenomena. A variety of examples from diverse disciplines … are discussed. … This book will serve as a graduate/research level textbook since it offers considerable utility to experimentalists, computational physicists and theorists."
