Generally speaking, the goals of statistical physics may be summarized as follows: on the one hand to study systems composed of a large number of interacting ‘entities’, and on the other to predict the macroscopic (or collective) behavior of the system considered from the microscopic laws ruling the dynamics of the individual ‘entities’. These two goals are, to some extent, also shared by what is nowadays called ‘complex systems science’ and for these reasons, systems studied in the framework of statistical physics may be considered as among the simplest examples of complex systems, allowing in addition a rather well developed mathematical treatment.

This collection of independent articles describes some mathematical problems recently developed in statistical physics and theoretical chemistry. The book introduces and reviews current research on such topics as nonlinear systems and colored noise, stochastic resonance, percolation, the trapping problem in the theory of random walks, and diffusive models for chemical kinetics. Some of these topics have never before been presented in expository book form. Applied mathematicians will be introduced to some contemporary problems in statistical physics. In addition, a number of unsolved problems currently attracting intensive research efforts are described, and some of the techniques used in this research are outlined, along with principal results and outstanding questions. A wide spectrum of mathematical techniques is covered, but the main emphasis is on introducing the mathematician to different research areas with open and interesting problems. This is an ideal starting point for the mathematician with an elementary acquaintance with the methodology of statistical physics. The material is meant to be introductory and terms are carefully defined. Many topics that require further study are introduced, providing new research ideas for the applied mathematician or thesis problems for the graduate student.

Material cerdas paduan ingat bentuk merupakan material yang memiliki kemampuan kembali ke bentuk semula setelah deformasi dengan perlakuan panas. Paduan ingat bentuk Cu-Zn-Al adalah salah satu paduan ingat bentuk dengan harga yang lebih murah dan mudah difabrikasi dibanding paduan ingat bentuk yang umum digunakan sepeti Ni-Ti. Pada Cu-Zn-Al sebagai paduan ingat bentuk memiliki kelemahan seperti stabilisa fasa martensit yang dapat dihindari dengan perlakuan panas dan metode pencelupan. Pada penelitian ini dipelajari pengaruh metode pencelupan terhadap sifat ingat bentuk pada paduan Cu-19,55Zn-7,04Al wt.% yang difabrikasi dengan proses pengecoran gravitasi. Hasil pengecoran gravitasi selanjutnya dihomogenisasi pada temperatur 850 oC selama 2 jam lalu didinginkan pada temperatur ruang. Setelah itu, paduan diberi perlakuan panas betatizing pada temperatur 850 oC selama 30 menit diikuti tiga metode pencelupan berbeda yaitu pencelupan langsung (direct quenching / DQ) ke dalam media air ditambah es kering, pencelupan naik (up quenching / UQ) ke dalam media air ditambah es kering selama 30 menit lalu dicelupkan lagi ke air mendidih 100 ℃ selama 30 menit, dan terakhir pencelupan bertahap (step quenching / SQ) dimana sampel dicelupkan pada air temperatur 100 ℃ selama 30 menit lalu diikuti pencelupan ke air ditambah es kering selama 30 menit. Karakterisasi paduan dilakukan menggunakan OES untuk uji komposisi, mikroskop optik dan SEM-EDS untuk mengamati struktur mikro, XRD untuk mengetahui struktur kristal, DSC untuk menganalisis transformasi fasa, Microvickers untuk pengujian keras dan uji pemuilahan regangan ingat bentuk menggunakan metode bending. Paduan as-cast dan as-homgenized memiliki struktur mikro yang didominasi oleh fasa β sebagai matriks dan fasa kedua seperti α yang berbentuk lath dan γ yang berbentuk seperti presipitat hitamdengan rasio fraksi fasa β:(α+ γ) sebesar 92:8. Untuk sampel hasil perlakuan panas, struktur mikro pencelupan DQ terdiri atas fasa martensit β’ yang berbentuk needle-like dan twin V. Struktur mikro pencelupan UQ memiliki struktur mikro martensit β’ berbentuk needle-like dan twin V dengan sedikit fasa kedua seperti fasa α dan γ.

Shape memory alloy Cu-Zn-Al is a cheaper and more easily fabricated shape memory alloy than the commonly used ones like Ni-Ti. The Cu-Zn-Al alloy as a shape memory alloy has a weakness in the form of phase stability, which could be avoided by heat treatment and quenching methods. This research studies the effect of the quenching method on the shape-memory properties in the Cu-19.55Zn-7.04Al alloy fabricated via gravity casting. The result of gravity casting was then homogenized at 850°C for 2 hours then cooled down at room temperature. Afterwards, the alloy was heat treated via betatization at 850°C for 30 minutes, followed by three different quenching methods of direct quenching (DQ) into a water medium with dry ice, up quenching (UQ) into a water medium with dry ice for 30 minutes before being quenched again into 100°C boiling water for 30 minutes, and step quenching (SQ) where the sample was quenched into 100°C water for 30 minutes then quenched into a water medium with dry ice for 30 minutes. Characterization of the alloy was conducted with OES to observe the composition, optical microscope and SEM-EDS to observe the microstructure, XRD to know the crystal structure, DSC to analyze phase transformation, Micro-Vickers to know the hardness, and shape-memory strain recovery testing using bending method. The microstructure of as-cast and as-homogenized is consist of β and another phase like α and γ with β:(α+ γ) phase fraction ratio of 92:8. After the heat treatment process, the microstructure of DQ showed needle-like and v-shaped structure that belongs to β’ martensite phase. Meanwhile, the microstructure of UQ showed needle-like v-shaped structure that belongs to β’ martensite phase and few phase like α and γ. , the microstructure of UQ showed needl-like and v-shaped β’ martensite phase and β phase. Alloy hardness for direct quenching was 155.61 HVN, up quenching was 179.76 HVN, and step quenching was 93.74 HVN. Strain recovery for direct quenching was 72.05%, up quenching was 74.15%, and step quenching was 81.95%.

What is the role and meaning of probability in physical theory, in particular in two of the most successful theories of our age, quantum physics and statistical mechanics? Laws once conceived as universal and deterministic, such as Newton‘s laws of motion, or the second law of thermodynamics, are replaced in these theories by inherently probabilistic laws. This collection of essays by some of the world‘s foremost experts presents an in-depth analysis of the meaning of probability in contemporary physics. Among the questions addressed are: How are probabilities defined? Are they objective or subjective? What is their explanatory value? What are the differences between quantum and classical probabilities? The result is an informative and thought-provoking book for the scientifically inquisitive.

During a century, from the Van der Waals mean field description (1874) of gases to the introduction of renormalization group (RG techniques 1970), thermodynamics and statistical physics were just unable to account for the incredible universality which was observed in numerous critical phenomena. The great success of RG techniques is not only to solve perfectly this challenge of critical behaviour in thermal transitions but to introduce extremely useful tools in a wide field of daily situations where a system exhibits scale invariance. The introduction of scaling, scale invariance and universality concepts has been a significant turn in modern physics and more generally in natural sciences. Since then, a new "physics of scaling laws and critical exponents", rooted in scaling approaches, allows quantitative descriptions of numerous phenomena, ranging from phase transitions to earthquakes, polymer conformations, heartbeat rhythm, diffusion, interface growth and roughening, DNA sequence, dynamical systems, chaos and turbulence. The chapters are jointly written by an experimentalist and a theorist. This book aims at a pedagogical overview, offering to the students and researchers a thorough conceptual background and a simple account of a wide range of applications. It presents a complete tour of both the formal advances and experimental results associated with the notion of scaling, in physics, chemistry and biology.
