JNU Delhi MSC statistics
hii sir, will you please provide me the syllabus of the JNU delhi MSc Statistical Mechanics ? Jawaharlal Nehru University, also known as JNU, is a public central university in New Delhi, the capital of India. As you asking for the syllabus of the MSc Statistical Mechanics I the syllabus is as follow : Statistical Mechanics I PS 422 1. Elementary Probability Theory Binomial, Poisson and Gaussian distributions, central limit theorem. 2. Review of Thermodynamics: Extensive and intensive variables, laws of thermodynamics, Legendre transformations and thermodynamic potentials, Maxwell relations, applications of thermodynamics to (a) ideal gas, (b) magnetic material, and (c) dielectric material. 3. Formalism of Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics: Concept of phase space, Liouville's theorem, basic postulates of statistical mechanics, ensembles: microcanonical, canonical, grand canonical, and isobaric, connection to thermodynamics, fluctuations, applications of various ensembles, equation of state for a non-ideal gas, Van der Waals' equation of state, Meyer cluster expansion, virial coefficients. 4. Quantum Statistics: Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics. Applications of the formalism to: (a) Ideal Bose gas, Debye theory of specific heat, properties of black-body radiation, Bose- Einstein condensation, experiments on atomic BEC, BEC in a harmonic potential. (b) Ideal Fermi gas, properties of simple metals, Pauli paramagnetism, electronic specific heat, white dwarf stars. References: F. Reif, Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics. K.
