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 and exergy in calorimetry, kinetic equations for complex reactions, lumping methods for complex reaction dynamics, transition state theory, theories of single-molecule reactions, chemical dynamics, femtochemistry, wave packets, chemical oscillations and chaos, variational and perturbative 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, polymeric stabilized colloids, Rayleigh scattering, dynamic light scattering, microemulsions, etc. Among these topics, some are further deepening of theories, some are new applications, and others are intended to broaden knowledge.
