Books with examples and resolutions of Statistical Physics problems?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking resources in statistical mechanics, particularly regarding the three types of ensembles (microcanonical, canonical, and grand canonical), quantum mechanics, and the behavior of fermions and bosons, McQuarrie's textbook on statistical mechanics is recommended. This book is noted for its applied approach, focusing on topics such as monatomic and diatomic ideal gases and perfect crystals, making it suitable for readers looking for solved exercises and practical examples in the field.

Hi, I'm completely lost in this discipline. Does anyone know of a good book with solved exercises and some examples, particularly on the 3 types of ensembles (microcanonical, canonical and large canonical), quantum mechanics statistical physics, and fermions/bosons gases? Thank you.

McQuarrie statistical mechanics may be of interest. It's a chemistry oriented statistical mechanics textbook so the chapters are, in general, much more applied. He explicitly treats monotomic and diatomic ideal gases, perfect crystals and a few other problems of interest.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
