Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition, Hansen and McDonald

Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Jean-Pierre Hansen and I.R. McDonald provide cutting-edge research in the principles of liquid-state theory. It includes frequent comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental and simulation data.

This text is suitable for researchers and post-graduates in the field of condensed matter science (Physics, Chemistry, Material Science), biophysics as well as those in the oil industry. It is an updated, advanced, but self-contained introduction to the principles of liquid-state theory. It presents the modern, molecular theory of the structural, thermodynamic interfacial and dynamical properties of the liquid phase of materials constituted of atoms, small molecules or ions.

This book leans on concepts and methods form classical Statistical Mechanics in which theoretical predictions are systematically compared with experimental data and results from numerical simulations. The overall layout of the book is similar to that of the previous two editions however, there are considerable changes in emphasis and several key additions.

Although there has been a shift in emphasis towards more complex systems, there remains in our view a place for a book that deals with the principles of liquid-state theory, covering both statics and dynamics. Thus, in preparing a third edition, we have resisted the temptation to broaden too far the scope of the book, and the focus remains firmly on simple systems, though many of the methods we describe continue to find a wider range of application.

Nonetheless, some reorganization of the book has been required in order to give proper weight to more recent developments. The most obvious change is in the space devoted to the theory of inhomogeneous fluids, an area in which considerable progress has been made since 1986. Other major additions are sections on the properties of supercooled liquids, which include a discussion of the mode-coupling theory of the kinetic glass transition, on theories of condensation and freezing and on the electric double layer.

To make way for this and other new material, some sections from the second edition have either been reduced in length or omitted altogether. In particular, we no longer see a need to include a complete chapter on molecular simulation, the publication of several excellent texts on the subject having filled what was previously a serious gap in the literature.

There is up-to-date presentation of modern theories of liquid-vapour coexistence and criticality with areas of considerable present and future interest such as super-cooled liquids and the glass transition. This text also describes the area of liquid metals, which has grown into a mature subject area, now presented as part of the chapter ionic liquids.

The Rainbow and the Worm: The Physics of Organisms 3e

The Rainbow and the Worm: The Physics of Organisms 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Mae-Wan Ho takes the reader on a voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to quantum optics, all necessary to illuminate the problem of life.

In the process, the reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism, gaining novel insights, not only into the physics, but also "the poetry and meaning of being alive". It is intended for all who love the subject. The book is recommended to all scientists who are interested in understanding life. It shows that life is more than a complex chemical reaction and, written by an author who understands life not only through the narrow tube of our ratio, worth living with loving care.

The book can be easily understood, because it is written in a way that the basic scientific terms are repeated step by step before they are used for discussing the essential questions. Fifty years after Schrodinger's "What is Life?", this book is a worthy installment, since it intensifies the original matter of Schrodinger.

Mae-Wan Ho presents an interconnected system of proposals, experimental results and conjectures which go a large way towards proving an entirely new answer to this question. It is based on research which is mainstream in its theoretical physical foundations, though innovatory in some of its techniques. This makes the book highly important, and if she is right it would be revolutionary.

A voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to quantum optics in order to understand the problem of life, this book offers rare and exquisite view of the organism, giving novel insights, not only into the physics, but also "the poetry and meaning of being alive".

Polymer Physics by M. Rubinstein and Ralph H. Colby

Polymer Physics PDF Download Ebook. M. Rubinstein and Ralph H. Colby describe the fundamental concepts of polymer melts, solutions, and gels in terms of both static structure and dynamics. It goes beyond other introductory polymer texts, deriving the essential tools of the physical polymer chemist or engineer without skipping any steps.

The book is divided into four parts. Part One summarizes the necessary concepts of a first course on polymers and covers the conformations of single polymer chains. Part Two deals with the thermodynamics of polymer solutions and melts, including chain conformations in those states. Part Three applies the concepts of Part Two to the formation and properties of polymer networks. Part Four explains the essential aspects of how polymers move in both melt and solution states.

The book has four main sections. The first part talks about the polymer statics: ideal and real chains and how their size and size dependent properties are characterized. Then it comes thermodynamics of polymer blends and solutions, which includes a discussion on polymer brushes and adsorption of chains. The authors devote the third section to networks and gels and this part includes a very thorough discussion of gelation, rubber elasticity and swelling.

The last section is devoted to the polymer dynamics, where chain models and polymer relaxation ideas are developed and discussed. The last two sections of the book cover topics which are of immense current interest, and have had original and critical contributions from the authors.

The text assumes a working knowledge of calculus, physics, and chemistry, but no prior knowledge of polymers. It is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in Condensed Matter Physics, Soft Materials, and Polymers. Judging by its clear style, its selection of topics, or its self contained material, it is an extremely well thought out, thorough, and completely laudable book in every way. This is a book worth reading.
