| Title | Generalized Statistical Thermodynamics : Thermodynamics of Probability Distributions and Stochastic Processes |
| Author(s) | Matsoukas, Themis |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XXI, 363 p. 57 illus., 55 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book gives the definitive mathematical answer to what thermodynamics really is: a variational calculus applied to probability distributions. Extending Gibbs's notion of ensemble, the Author imagines the ensemble of all possible probability distributions and assigns probabilities to them by selection rules that are fairly general. The calculus of the most probable distribution in the ensemble produces the entire network of mathematical relationships we recognize as thermodynamics. The first part of the book develops the theory for discrete and continuous distributions while the second part applies this thermodynamic calculus to problems in population balance theory and shows how the emergence of a giant component in aggregation, and the shattering transition in fragmentation may be treated as formal phase transitions. While the book is intended as a research monograph, the material is self-contained and the style sufficiently tutorial to be accessible for self-paced study by an advanced graduate student in such fields as physics, chemistry, and engineering |

| Title | Statistical Physics of Nanoparticles in the Gas Phase |
| Author(s) | Hansen, Klavs |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIV, 416 p. 123 illus., 12 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Thermal processes are ubiquitous and an understanding of thermal phenomena is essential for a complete description of the physics of nanoparticles, both for the purpose of modeling the dynamics of the particles and for the correct interpretation of experimental data. The second edition of this book follows the logic of first edition, with an emphasis on presentation of literature results and to guide the reader through derivations. Several topics have been added to the repertoire, notably magnetism, a fuller exposition of aggregation and the related area of nucleation theory. Also a new chapter has been added on the transient hot electron phenomenon. The book remains focused on the fundamental properties of nanosystems in the gas phase. Each chapter is enriched with more new exercises and three Appendices provide additional useful material |

| Title | Wandering Towards a Goal : How Can Mindless Mathematical Laws Give Rise to Aims and Intention? |
| Author(s) | Aguirre, Anthony;Foster, Brendan;Merali, Zeeya |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | VIII, 254 p. 46 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This collection of prize-winning essays addresses the controversial question of how meaning and goals can emerge in a physical world governed by mathematical laws. What are the prerequisites for a system to have goals? What makes a physical process into a signal? Does eliminating the homunculus solve the problem? The three winning essays, by Larissa Albantakis, Carlo Rovelli and Jochen Szangolies tackle exactly these challenges, while many other aspects (agency, the role of the observer, causality versus teleology, ghosts in the machine etc.) put in an appearance in the other award winning contributions. These seventeen imaginative, stimulating and often entertaining essays are enhanced versions of the prize-winning entries to the FQXi essay competition in 2017. The Foundational Questions Institute, FQXi, catalyzes, supports, and disseminates research on questions at the foundations of physics and cosmology, particularly new frontiers and innovative ideas integral to a deep understanding of reality, but unlikely to be supported by conventional funding sources |

| Title | Schramm???Loewner Evolution |
| Author(s) | Kemppainen, Antti |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | IX, 145 p. 25 illus., 10 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is a short, but complete, introduction to the Loewner equation and the SLEs, which are a family of random fractal curves, as well as the relevant background in probability and complex analysis. The connection to statistical physics is also developed in the text in an example case.??The book is based on a course (with the same title) lectured by the author.??First three chapters are devoted to the background material, but at the same time, give the reader a good understanding on the overview on the subject and on some aspects of conformal invariance. The chapter on the Loewner equation develops in detail the connection of growing hulls and the differential equation satisfied by families of conformal maps. The Schramm???Loewner evolutions are defined and their basic properties are studied in the following chapter, and the regularity properties of random curves as well as scaling limits of discrete random curves are investigated in the final chapter. The book is aimed at graduate students or researchers who want to learn the subject fairly quickly |

| Title | The Computability of the World : How Far Can Science Take Us? |
| Author(s) | K??ppers, Bernd-Olaf |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | X, 200 p. 40 illus., 38 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this thought-provoking book K??ppers, an internationally renowned physicist, philosopher and theoretical biologist, addresses a number of??science's deepest??questions: Can??physics advance to the origin of all things and explain the unique phenomena of life, time and history? Are there unsolvable enigmas of the world? How did life originate? Is language a general phenomenon of Nature? What is time? Is it possible to express the history of the world in formulae? Where is science leading us? These and other provocative questions essential for a deeper understanding of the world are treated here in a refreshing and stimulating manner |

| Title | Statistical Mechanics for Athermal Fluctuation : Non-Gaussian Noise in Physics |
| Author(s) | Kanazawa, Kiyoshi |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2017. |
| Description | XVI, 222 p. 53 illus., 46 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The author investigates athermal fluctuation from the viewpoints of statistical mechanics in this thesis. Stochastic methods are theoretically very powerful in describing fluctuation of thermodynamic quantities in small systems on the level of a single trajectory and have been recently developed on the basis of stochastic thermodynamics. This thesis proposes, for the first time, a systematic framework to describe athermal fluctuation, developing stochastic thermodynamics for non-Gaussian processes, while thermal fluctuations are mainly addressed from the viewpoint of Gaussian stochastic processes in most of the conventional studies. First, the book provides an elementary introduction to the stochastic processes and stochastic thermodynamics. The author derives a Langevin-like equation with non-Gaussian noise as a minimal stochastic model for athermal systems, and its analytical solution by developing systematic expansions is shown as the main result. Furthermore, the au thor shows a thermodynamic framework for such non-Gaussian fluctuations, and studies some thermodynamics phenomena, i.e. heat conduction and energy pumping, which shows distinct characteristics from conventional thermodynamics. The theory introduced in the book would be a systematic foundation to describe dynamics of athermal fluctuation quantitatively and to analyze their thermodynamic properties on the basis of stochastic methods |

| Title | There Is No Theory of Everything : A Physics Perspective on Emergence |
| Author(s) | English, Lars Q |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XIV, 224 p. 32 illus., 22 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The main purpose of this book is to introduce a broader audience to emergence by illustrating how discoveries in the physical sciences have informed the ways we think about it. In a nutshell, emergence asserts that non-reductive behavior arises at higher levels of organization and complexity. As physicist Philip Anderson put it, ???more is different.??? Along the text's conversational tour through the terrain of quantum physics, phase transitions, nonlinear and statistical physics, networks and complexity, the author highlights the various philosophical nuances that arise in encounters with emergence. The final part of the book zooms out to reflect on some larger lessons that emergence affords us. One of those larger lessons is the realization that the great diversity of theories and models, and the great variety of independent explanatory frameworks, will always be with us in the sciences and beyond. There is no ???Theory of Everything??? just around the corner waiting to be discovered. One of the main benefits of this book is that it will make a number of exciting scientific concepts that are not normally covered at this level accessible to a broader audience. The overall presentation, including the use of examples, analogies, metaphors, and biographical interludes, is geared for the educated non-specialist |

| Title | Nonlinear Photonics in Mid-infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers |
| Author(s) | Jumpertz, Louise |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. |
| Description | XXIII, 134 p. 100 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents the first comprehensive analysis of quantum cascade laser nonlinear dynamics and includes the first observation of a temporal chaotic behavior in quantum cascade lasers. It also provides the first analysis of optical instabilities in the mid-infrared range. Mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers are unipolar semiconductor lasers, which have become widely used in applications such as gas spectroscopy, free-space communications or optical countermeasures. Applying external perturbations such as optical feedback or optical injection leads to a strong modification of the quantum cascade laser properties. Optical feedback impacts the static properties of mid-infrared Fabry???Perot and distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers, inducing power increase; threshold reduction; modification of the optical spectrum, which can become either single- or multimode; and enhanced beam quality in broad-area transverse multimode lasers. It also leads to a different dynamical behavior, and a quantum cascade laser subject to optical feedback can oscillate periodically or even become chaotic.?? A quantum cascade laser under external control could therefore be a source with enhanced properties for the usual mid-infrared applications, but could also address new applications such as tunable photonic oscillators, extreme events generators, chaotic Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), chaos-based secured communications or unpredictable countermeasures |
