After successful completion of the course, students are able to apply the basic principles of statistical physics also for the description of interacting systems, such as real gases or magnetic systems, and to understand and model phase transitions and non-equilibrium processes in terms of simple approximation techniques. In the accompanying voluntary exercises and additional plena the students will learn to independently solve various problems in statistical physics using also more involved analytic methods and computer simulations.
real gases, non-equilibrium processes (Boltzmann eq., Langevin eq.), magnetism, theory of phase transitions, linear response theory
lecture with a strong and active student participation.
The lecture is held in close cooperation with the Statistische Physik II Übung. The students are invited to attend the combined lecture-exercise classes. However, both courses can also be taken independent of each other.
Further information the links to the Zoom session can be found in the TUWEL-course.
First meeting for the VO and the UE: Thursday 04.03.2021, 15:15.
To have access to all the online materiel, video links, etc., a registration in TISS before 09.03.2021 is necessary.
2 alternative exam options:
a) "VO-Modus": one written exam at the end of the semester on the content of the lecture. (Replacement test in October and additonal oral exams until two years after the end of the course).
b) "VU-Modus": Joint grading with the exercise course "UE 136.050 Statistical Physics II": written exam at the end of the semester including exam on the interactive tutor-based exercise classes (every week either lecture or exersice classes); (replacement test in October, no further oral exams).
Registration for the Statistical Physics II Exercise course via TISS is required before 09.03.2021 for participants who choose the exam option b).
