Last update: Matějka Pavel prof. Dr. RNDr. (03.09.2019)
The purpose of the Ph.D. student course is to present the key chapters of statistical mechanics and to illustrate its advanced application on a description of thermodynamics and structure properties of model many-body interacting systems.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Malijevský Alexandr prof. Mgr. Ph.D., DSc. (04.10.2018)

Students will understand fundamentals of statistical mechanics and will be able to predict a macroscopic behaviour of thermodynamic systems from the knowledge of interaction properties of the microscopic constituents.
