Features: This book is a reference text based on the university physical chemistry course. It is designed for students and young teachers, as well as for young researchers and engineering technicians interested in physical chemistry. The book covers a total of 53 topics. For example, supercritical fluids, thermoacoustic cooling, calorimetry, the Gibbs-Duhem equation, stability principles, high-pressure fluid phase diagrams, second law analysis of thermodynamics and exergy, kinetic equations for complex reactions, lumped methods for handling complex reaction dynamics, transition state theory, theory of single-molecule reactions, chemical dynamics, femtochemistry, wave packets, chemical oscillations and chaos, variational and perturbation methods, autonomous field methods, Hartree-Fock method and density functional theory, atomic spectral terms, group theory and molecular symmetry, cluster chemistry, intermolecular forces, hydrophobic effects, supramolecular chemistry, magnetic resonance, heat capacity of atomic crystals, ensemble principles, integral equation theory, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, statistical mechanics foundation of the corresponding state principle, statistical mechanics of density functional theory, chemical power sources, membrane transport, biomembrane transport, double electric layer and electrostatically stabilized colloids, polymer-stabilized colloids, Rayleigh scattering, dynamic light scattering, microemulsions, and more. Among these topics, some delve deeper into theory, others introduce new applications, and some aim to broaden knowledge.
