FYS-2001: Statistical physics and Thermodynamics Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Contents
Introduction to probability, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
The subject includes the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic
relations, free energi and chemical potential. Emphasis is placed on the
microscopic (statistical) interpretation of thermodynamics. The course also
includes elements of quantum statistics (Fermi and Bose gases, Einstein
condensation).
Many physical systems/processes can only be explained at the microscopic
(atomic) level. Examples are semiconductors, metals, white dwarf stars and
nuclei. The basic knowledge provided in the course is necessary to
understand
such systems.
The course builds on Calculus 3 (Mat 1003), Mechanics (Fys 1001) and
Quantum Mechanics (Fys 2000).
