Statistical Mechanics and Entropy

Statistical Mechanics and Entropy is a research topic within Statistical and Nonlinear Physics. Science Explorer counts 18k research works in it since 1950. 10.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the statistical mechanics of systems with long-range interactions and nonextensive behavior, characterized by Tsallis statistics, generalized entropies, superstatistics, non-Gaussian statistics, and anomalous diffusion. It explores the thermodynamic equilibrium, Fokker-Planck equations, and phase transitions in such systems.
