Hi, does anyone know of good places to study masters degree in physics with the main focus on statistical physics ?

Thanks, now it seems so trivial :D

I don‘t understand one step in derivation of ideal gas chemical potential. Generally Gibbs free energy is: (1) (2) We observe that: (3) From equation (3) we make differential equation and integrate it: (4) (5) We get Gibbs free energy dependence on pressure...

Thanks now I see. I have overlooked the fact that observer at rest will see dominating Coulomb repulsive force and magnetic attractive force increasing with electrons velocity. Sum of these forces is never attractive in this case.

Consider two parallel streams of electrons in vacuum. Each stream moves with constant velocity and carries a current. According to classical electrodynamics parallel and same direction currents attract each other. The problem is that I can't see how relativistic length contraction can cause...

Thank you for your time and effort, I will study quantum physics soon and very carefuly (checking what is really proved). Now I see that we don't have formal proof of indeterminism. I am interested in truth no matter how it looks like - deterministic or not.

So we are in interesting situation when neither indeterminism nor determinism can be proved ? Than why does some physicists in the media say that Einstein was wrong about God playing dice ?

If we can't find deterministic laws at some scale this doesn't mean that world is indeterministic. Is there any formal proof of indeterminism ?

If any application of probability and statistics doesn't imply that particular proces doesn't have deterministic laws, then how quantum physicists come up with an idea that determinism is false ? P.S. I am second year bachelor student of applied physics and I will have quantum physics course...
