Mechanics is a branch of physics studying motion. The history of mechanics, as well as the
history of other branches of science, is a history of attempts to explain the world by means of …

Depending on the exact experimental conditions, the thermodynamic properties of physical
systems can be related to one or more thermostatistical ensembles. Here, we survey the …

The validity of the concept of negative temperature has been recently challenged by arguing
that the Boltzmann entropy (that allows negative temperatures) is inconsistent from a …

It has recurrently been proposed that the Boltzmann textbook definition of entropy S (E)= k ln
Ω (E) in terms of the number of microstates Ω (E) with energy E should be replaced by the …

It is suggested a thermodynamic framework to describe plastic deformation in FCC metals at
low strain rates and temperatures when the major mechanism of deformation is dislocation …

The subject of this book emerged from a series of lectures that the author gave at the
Department of Physics of the University of North Texas during the 1992 Spring Semester …

For processes during which a macroscopic system exchanges no heat with its surroundings,
the second law of thermodynamics places two lower bounds on the amount of work …

In the last 10 years, flat histogram Monte Carlo simulations have contributed strongly to our
understanding of the phase behavior of simple generic models of polymers. These …
