This encyclopedia entry presents the foundations of classical statistical mechanics: the description of many-body systems in phase space, the statistical ensembles (microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical) and the role of the partition function, the connection with thermodynamics, fluctuations and the equivalence of ensembles, and the classical treatment of interacting systems and phase transitions, with reference to their applications in condensed matter physics.

Abstract
This encyclopedia entry presents the foundations of classical statistical mechanics: the description of many-body systems in phase space, the statistical ensembles (microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical) and the role of the partition function, the connection with thermodynamics, fluctuations and the equivalence of ensembles, and the classical treatment of interacting systems and phase transitions, with reference to their applications in condensed matter physics.File in questo prodotto:
