Física Estatística

One of the goal of this course will be to reconstruct the classical thermodynamics, defining in particular, rigorously, entropy and temperature. This will be possible using the well-known and rigorous laws of classical or quantum mechanics at the microscopic level, statistical results and two characteristic "postulates" of statistical physics. This "reconstruction" leads to a deeper understanding of the statistical nature of the laws of thermodynamics. Once this goal achieved, the tools developed will be used to examine a wide range of interesting and "simple" problems:
Paramagnetism (and Ferromagnetism)
Ideal gas laws
Electrons in solids (Fermi-Dirac statistics)
Black body radiation (Bose-Einstein statistic)
Superconductivity and Superfluidity
