Knowledge of foundations of thermodynamics, theoretical mechanics ( the canonical formalism by Hamilton) and foundations of quantum mechanics.
Course learning outcomes
  1. The student defines the basic concepts of thermodynamics and statistical physics. He\she recalls the main principles, statistical distributions and equations (FFT1A_W02, FFT1A_W07);
  2. The student solves standard problems of thermodynamics and statistical physics (FFT1A_U02, FFT1A_U05);
  3. The student employs thermodynamics and statistical physics to various parts of physics (hydrodynamics, solid state physics, etc.) (FFT1A_U04);

    Course content LECTURE Thermodynamical parameters. Reversible and irreversible processes. Principles of thermodynamics. Entropy and the thermodynamical potentials. Phase space and description of a physical system in statistical physics. Density matrix. The classical Liouville theorem and the quantum Liouville-von Neumann theorem. Entropy in statistical physics. The principle of increasing of entropy. Microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical ensembles. Partition function. Relation between the thermodynamical functions and the partition function. Maxwell distribution. Ideal gas. Boltzmann distribution. Thermodynamical functions, the state equation and specific heat of Boltzmann ideal gas. Fermi-Dirac distribution. The specific heat of electron gas. Bose-Einstein distribution. The Bose-Einstein condensation. The black body radiation and the photon gas.Theory of fluctuations. Brownian movement. Foundations of thermodynamics and statistical physics of irreversible processes. The kinetic Boltzmann equation. TUTORIALS Students solve the problems in thermodynamics and statistical physics in the scope of the material delivered in the course of the lectures and they are given some new knowledge important to search for solutions of the physical problems closely related to thermodynamics or statistical physics.
