商品描述

This textbook presents the fundamentals of statistical thermodynamics and electronic structure theory and focuses on introducing the central concepts of thermodynamics and their relation to microscopic theories in a conceptually clear and simple way. The emphasis is on the description of what is going on at the microscopic level, which allows readers to understand the various facets of entropy as the fundamental driving force of all material behaviors. An atomistic perspective is introduced from the beginning, highlighting the importance of molecular structure and microscopic degrees of freedom for understanding the thermodynamic properties of materials, such as heat capacity and magnetization. Because of their importance in various research fields, classical and quantum aspects are treated equally, allowing modern research topics to be addressed with molecular simulation and electronic structure theory. It is a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, physics, and materials science, and its modular structure makes it suitable for any reader.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本教科書介紹了統計熱力學和電子結構理論的基礎知識，並著重以概念清晰且簡單易懂的方式介紹熱力學的核心概念及其與微觀理論的關係。重點在於描述微觀層面的情況，使讀者能夠理解熵作為所有物質行為的基本驅動力的各個方面。從一開始就引入了原子層面的觀點，強調了分子結構和微觀自由度對於理解材料的熱力學性質（如熱容和磁化）的重要性。由於它們在各個研究領域中的重要性，經典和量子方面被同等對待，使得可以用分子模擬和電子結構理論來探討現代研究主題。這是一本對化學、物理和材料科學的本科生和研究生非常有價值的資源，其模塊化結構使其適合任何讀者。

作者簡介

Marcus Elstner has been a Professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) since 2009. After his doctorate in theoretical physics and a postdoctoral stay at Harvard University (1999-2000), he was Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the Technical University of Braunschweig (2006-2009). In his research, he investigates the structure, dynamics and function of complex macromolecules using computer simulations based on the fundamental concepts and methods of Statistical Mechanics and Electronic Structure theory.

Qiang Cui received his Ph. D. at Emory University with Professor Keiji Morokuma in 1997. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemistry, Harvard University with Professor Martin Karplus, and started his independent career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2001-2017). Since 2018, he has been a professor of Chemistry at Boston University and holds courtesy appointments in Physics and BiomedicalEngineering. His main research field is theoretical/computational chemistry and biophysics, especially the analysis of bioenergy transduction, membrane biophysics, protein dynamics and the nano/bio interface.

Maja Gruden is a Full Professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Chemistry. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Belgrade in 2007. Her interest in theoretical inorganic chemistry led her to the University of Fribourg, Switzerland in 2009, where she completed her postdoctoral studies with Prof. Claude Daul. Prof. Gruden's research interests in recent years have focused on the application of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to transition metal chemistry and the understanding of the electronic structure of transition metal complexes with emphasis on the effect of spin states and vibronic coupling on reactivity, selectivity, magnetic properties, chemical bonding and spectroscopy.

Marcus Elstner自2009年起擔任卡爾斯魯厄理工學院物理化學研究所的教授。在獲得理論物理學博士學位並在哈佛大學進行博士後研究（1999-2000）之後，他曾在不倫瑞克工業大學擔任理論化學教授（2006-2009）。他的研究主要通過基於統計力學和電子結構理論的基本概念和方法的計算機模擬，探索複雜大分子的結構、動力學和功能。

Qiang Cui於1997年在Emory大學師從Keiji Morokuma教授獲得博士學位。他曾在哈佛大學化學系師從Martin Karplus教授進行博士後研究，並於2001年至2017年在威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校開展獨立的職業生涯。自2018年起，他擔任波士頓大學化學教授，並兼任物理學和生物醫學工程學的禮貌職位。他的主要研究領域是理論/計算化學和生物物理學，尤其是生物能量轉換、膜生物物理學、蛋白質動力學和納米/生物界面的分析。

Maja Gruden是貝爾格萊德大學化學學院的一位全職教授，專攻普通化學和無機化學。她於2007年在貝爾格萊德大學獲得博士學位。她對理論無機化學的興趣使她於2009年前往瑞士弗里堡大學，在Claude Daul教授的指導下完成了博士後研究。Gruden教授近年來的研究興趣主要集中在應用密度泛函理論（DFT）於過渡金屬化學，並著重於自旋狀態和振動耦合對反應性、選擇性、磁性、化學鍵和光譜學的影響的過渡金屬配合物的電子結構的理解。
