PHYS 7322 — Nonequilibrium Physics
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: T/FBostonTraditional
Covers selected topics in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and nonlinear physics to be selected by the instructor, with emphasis on classical theories of solids, fluids, and other more complex phases of matter. Topics may include Brownian motion, including Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations; linear response theory and transport phenomena; nonequilibrium phase transitions, including nucleation and phase-ordering kinetics; elasticity theory and fluid mechanics; and nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation.
