About the Book

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM), practically synonymous with time-dependent statistical mechanics (TDSM), is a beautiful and profound subject, vast in scope, diverse in applications, and indispensable in understanding natural phenomena we encounter in physical and biological world. The subject has its genesis in Boltzmann's 1972 classic paper that aimed at extending Maxwell's kinetic theory of gases by including intermolecular interactions. Subsequent development of the subject drew upon the seminal work of Einstein and Langevin on Brownian motion, Rayleigh and Stokes on hydrodynamics, and on the works of Onsager, Prigogine, Kramers, Kubo, Mori and Zwanzig.

One major goal of this book is to develop and present NESM in an organized fashion so that students can appreciate and understand the flow of the subject from postulates to practical uses. This book takes the students on a journey from fundamentals to applications, mostly using simple mathematics, and fundamental concepts. With the advent of computers and computational packages and techniques, a deep intuitive understanding can allow the students to tackle fairly complex problems, like proteins in lipid membranes or solvation of ions in electrolytes used in batteries.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics: An Introduction with Applications is thus an introductory text that aims to provide students with a background and skill essential to study and understand time dependent (relaxation) phenomena. It will allow students to calculate transport properties like diffusion and conductivity. The book also teaches the methods to calculate reaction rate on a multidimensional energy surface, in another such application.

This book lays the foundation stone towards understanding time dependent phenomena. It is accessible to students and researchers who have basic training in physics and mathematics. The book can be used to teach advanced undergraduates. Some involved topics, like the projection operator technique and mode coupling theory, are more suitable for Ph.D. level.


About the Author:

Biman Bagchi is currently holding an India National Science Chair (DST-SERB) & Honorary Professorship at the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit (SSCU), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. He obtained his B.Sc. degree from the Presidential College, Calcutta and M.Sc. from Science College, Calcutta University. He received PhD from Brown University, RI, in 1981 and carried out postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago and University of Maryland, before returning to India in 1984 to join the Indian Institute of Science. He is a Fellow of all the three National Science Academies of India. He an elected Fellow of the third world academy of sciences (TWAS) and Elected Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2020) [AAA&S]. He received a fair number of Awards in India including an early Bhatnagar (at 36 years of age), GD Birla, Goyal Prizes. He received International TWAS Prize in 1998. He is the recipient of the 2021 Joel Henry Hildebrand ACS National Award from the American Chemical Society in Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry of Liquids and also the prestigious Humboldt Science Research Award of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2019). J. Physical Chemistry brought out a Festschrift special issue J. Phys. Chem. B, 2015, Vol.: 119, in his honour. Bagchi has published more than 500 papers including 26 reviews, authored three books on different aspects of statistical mechanics and currently writing a 4th book on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. He has also published two non-technical books (mostly for students) available on Amazon Kindle.
