Such concerns are the focus of the branch of thermodynamics known as statistical thermodynamics, or statistical mechanics, which expresses macroscopic thermodynamic properties in terms of the behaviour of individual particles and their interactions.
Topics include symmetry and structure, classical and statistical thermodynamics, solid state physics, mechanics, phase transformations and kinetics, statistics and presentation of data.
Topics include classical statistical thermodynamics for calculation of macroscopic observables, normal-mode analyses of protein dynamics, and thermodynamic perturbation theory.
