About this book

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).
