Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Physical Kinetics, 2nd Edition

This new edition covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics. Supplementary material on the non-equilibrium statistical operator (NSO) method for calculating kinetics coefficients describing spintronics is included in this new addition. This book is an easy-to-read text describing the fundamentals of the field.

Easy-to-read guide to classical and modern aspects of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and physical kinetics theory.
Problems and well-documented solutions included in the book.
New material on the use of a non-equilibrium statistical operator (NSO).
