STATISTICAL PHYSICS WITH APPLICATIONS TO MOLECULAR NANOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

This course explains the foundations of modern statistical physics, including the renormalization group theory, and describes applications to phenomena at the molecular ("nano”) scale in various disciplines including chemical engineering, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and material science. No knowledge of statistical physics is required, but fundamentals of thermodynamics are useful. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CHBE 565 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CHBE 465 if student has credit for CHBE 565 .
