Quantum Field Theoretical Methods in Statistical Mechanics

  • Chapter
Statistical Physics II

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 31))

Abstract

We have seen that macroscopic properties in a linear irreversible process are determined by the response function, the relaxation function, the complex admittance or the double-time correlation functions. This chapter briefly describes techniques for calculating these functions. Of course, there are many methods of calculation, each of which has its own merits and demerits and has particular key points to be considered. A simple example for the determination of the response function by using the kinetic theoretical method was given in Chap. 3.
