TY - BOOK AU - Kubo, Ryogo AU - Toda, Morikazu AU - Hashitsume, Natsuki TI - Statistical physics II: nonequilibrium statistical mechanics T2 - Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences SN - 9783642582448 PY - 1991/// CY - Heidelberg PB - Springer Berlin N2 - Statistical Physics II introduces nonequilibrium theories of statistical mechanics from the viewpoint of the fluctuation-disipation theorem. Emphasis is placed on the relaxation from nonequilibrium to equilibrium states, the response of a system to an external disturbance, and general problems involved in deriving a macroscopic physical process from more basic underlying processes. Fundamental concepts and methods are stressed, rather than the numerous individual applications UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-58244-8 ER -
