This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -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. 554 pp. Englisch.…

About the Author
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.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
