Statistical Physics of Non-Thermal Phase Transitions : From Foundations to Applications
Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2015
Abstract/Sommario:
Statistical physics can be used to better understand non-thermal complex systems—phenomena such as stock-market crashes, revolutions in society and in science, fractures in engineered materials and in the Earth’s crust, catastrophes, traffic jams, petroleum clusters, polymerization, self-organized criticality and many others exhibit behaviors resembling those of thermodynamic systems. In particular, many of these systems possess phase transitions identical to critical or spinodal pheno ...; [leggi tutto]
