Description

Thermal processes are ubiquitous and an understanding of�thermal phenomena is essential for a complete description�of the physics of nanoparticles, both for the purpose of�modeling the dynamics of the particles and for the correct�interpretation of experimental data. The second edition of this book follows the logic of first edition,�with an emphasis on presentation of literature results and to�guide the reader through derivations. Several topics have been�added to the repertoire, notably magnetism, a fuller exposition�of aggregation and the related area of nucleation theory.�Also a new chapter has been added on the transient hot electron�phenomenon.� The book remains focused on the fundamental properties�of nanosystems in the gas phase. Each chapter is enriched with additional new exercises and three Appendices provide additional useful�material.Typham this is the title: Statistical Physics of Nanoparticles in the Gas Phase 2nd Edition
