Statistical Physics 2

The statistical physics II course is given by Professor Jan Ryckebusch. The course is very well structured and both theory as exercise lessons are given by Professor Ryckebusch who is known as on of the best Professors in the faculty of physics due to his dynamic style of teaching. The lessons for this class are given at the "Proeftuinstraat" campus Proeftuinstraat.

The course is centered around a few important concepts: phase-transitions, renormalisation group theory, critical phenomena (power law behavior) en self-organized criticality. The course starts with a very basic description of the Ising model and continuing with more advanced theory which are reflected onto the ising model. Afterwards phase transitions are looking into with big detail.
