unusual facts about Boltzmann-Matano analysis


Boltzmann-Matano analysis

Two alloys with different concentration would be put into contact, and annealed at a given temperature for a given time t, typically several hours; the sample is then cooled to ambient temperature, and the concentration profile is virtually "frozen".


Boltzmann relation

In a plasma, the Boltzmann relation describes the number density of an isothermal charged particle fluid when the thermal and the electrostatic forces acting on the fluid have reached equilibrium.

Boltzmann's entropy formula

In 1934, Swiss physical chemist Werner Kuhn successfully derived a thermal equation of state for rubber molecules using Boltzmann's formula, which has since come to be known as the entropy model of rubber.

Constantino Tsallis

The resulting theory is not intended to replace Boltzmann–Gibbs statistics, but rather supplement it, such as in the case of anomalous systems characterised by non-ergodicity or metastable states.

Curie constant

where N is the number of magnetic atoms (or molecules) per unit volume, g is the Landé g-factor, \mu B (9.27400915e-24 J/T or A·m2) is the Bohr magneton, J is the angular momentum quantum number and k B is Boltzmann's constant.

Edward Condon

Condon said he replied: "I believe in Archimedes' Principle, formulated in the third century B.C. I believe in Kepler's laws of planetary motion, discovered in the seventeenth century. I believe in Newton's laws...." and continued with a catalog of scientists from earlier centuries, including the Bernoulli, Fourier, Ampère, Boltzmann, and Maxwell.

Gerd Kaminski

He has been head of the Boltzmann institute for Chinese and southeast Asian research in Vienna since his habilitation in 1978.

Ludwig Boltzmann

Finally, in the 1970s E.G.D. Cohen and J.R. Dorfman proved that a systematic (power series) extension of the Boltzmann equation to high densities is mathematically impossible.

On September 5, 1906, while on a summer vacation in Duino, near Trieste, Boltzmann hanged himself during an attack of depression.

Mark Kac

Mark Kac, Probability and related topics in the physical sciences. 1959 (with contributions by Uhlenbeck on the Boltzmann equation, Hibbs on quantum mechanics, and van der Pol on finite difference analogues of the wave and potential equations, Boulder Seminar 1957).

Maxwell–Boltzmann

Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics, statistical distribution of material particles over various energy states in thermal equilibrium

Menschenrechte

Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Menschenrechte (Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights), a Vienna-based research institute

Poisson's equation

The Poisson–Boltzmann equation plays a role in the development of the Debye–Hückel theory of dilute electrolyte solutions.
