An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics

Introduction to Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics

Introduction to Statistical Mechanics of Charged Systems

The paper is the summary of lectures given in São Carlos, Brazil during the 2004 Summer School on Statistical Mechanics. My objective was to provide the students with some basic tools necessary to study the thermodynamics of Coulomb systems. I have restricted myself to simple models and techniques, which nevertheless, when used correctly can give a clear insight into the fundamental physics beh...

Introduction to Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics *

In this lecture we briefly review the definition, consequences and applications of an entropy, Sq, which generalizes the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy SBG (S1 = SBG), basis of the usual statistical mechanics, well known to be applicable whenever ergodicity is satisfied at the microscopic dynamical level. Such entropy Sq is based on the notion of q-exponential and presents properties not shared ...
