Meanings of statistical mechanics in anglès

Entropy was first recognised in the mid-19th century in thermodynamics and later in statistical mechanics.

In this work, we show how energy function errors propagate when computing statistical mechanics-derived thermodynamic quantities.

We analyze an evolutionary process, which we call pairwise comparison, for which we adopt the ubiquitous Fermi distribution function from statistical mechanics.

I have been fortunate to have excellent professors when learning quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and solid-state physics in college and graduate school.

Mechanics of the double helix as revealed by single-molecule experiments will be described, with an emphasis on the role of polymer statistical mechanics.

Assis' new analysis, which is under review at Physical Review E, is the first to use statistical mechanics to describe a true origami pattern.

In all, the investigation introduces a class of exactly soluble models into statistical mechanics and provides a fertile ground to investigate statistical models of disorder.

Although the stepping stone model was first proposed for population genetics, it is closely related to "voter models" of interest in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.

Statistical mechanics underlies our understanding of macroscopic quantum systems.
