Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The course aims at providing the participants with a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts and ideas needed to understand the thermal physics occurring at the macroscale, also by making use of the statistical physics governing matter at the molecular scale. The course will be mostly centred around classical physics concepts, with few exceptions that will require a basic quantum treatment (*marked with an asterisk below).The topics that will be addressed during the course are: Thermal equilibrium; Heat, work, and energy; First law of thermodynamics; Second law of thermodynamics; Entropy and the Boltzmann law; Thermodynamic driving forces; Processes, Pathways, Cycles; Laboratory conditions and free energies; Maxwell’s relations and mixtures; The Boltzmann distribution law; Partition Function; Ensembles; The statistical mechanics of simple solids, liquids, and gases*; Physical basis of temperature and heat capacity*.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Assessment will be based on a written exam that may contain conceptual questions (both multiple-choice and open) and short exercises. No material is permitted during the exam, except for a standard calculator.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Knowledge of the following topics is required to profitably attend the lectures (during the Wednesday exercises there will be a brief review, but please do not consider it a substitute for your individual study.):
- basics of probability and statistics (can be found for instance in Chapter 1 of the Dill&Bromberg book in the reading list): probability, multiplicity, combinatorics, distribution functions (Poisson, Gaussian, binomial, exponential, power law, Lorentzian), averages, moments;- multivariate calculus (can be found for instance in Chapter 4 of the Dill&Bromberg book in the reading list): multivariate functions, partial derivatives, total differential, extrema of multivariate functions without and with constraints, Lagrange multipliers, exact differentials and Euler test, chain rule.Criteria for assessment are: Proficiency in explaining the key concepts in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of simple systems; Proficiency in answering questions and solving simple problems in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics; Ability to provide a physical interpretation of the microscopic processes underlying the macroscopic thermal properties of systems; Capability to communicate correctly, concisely, clearly and unambiguously your own understanding and interpretation in written form.

Prüfungsstoff
The examination topics coincide with the topics addressed during the lectures on Fridays, as well as during the exercises held on Wednesdays and Friday (depending on your group)
Literatur
The course will make use of a variety of sources, but will remain close to: Molecular Driving Forces by Dill & Bromberg (Garland Science, 2011, 2nd ed)
