A Lightning Introduction to Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics
30 Apr 2018 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Christopher Jarzynski
A brief and birds eye introduction to non-equilibrium statistical physics. This tutorial is organized around the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. It begins with brief review how the 1st and 2nd laws apply to macroscopic systems in the context of old fashion 19th century thermodynamics with...
Scaling Down the Laws of Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics provides a robust conceptual framework and set of laws that govern the exchange of energy and matter. Although these laws were originally articulated for macroscopic objects, nanoscale systems often exhibit “thermodynamic-like” behavior – biomolecular motors...
