| Schedule and Contents |
The lectures will cover the following topics, with five lectures per part. Part 1. Plasma as a Coulomb many-body system (Kitamura): 1. Thermal ionization and pressure ionization 2. Electron liquid in a metal: quantum plasma 3. Fluctuations, responses, and correlations 4. Electrolyte solutions, stellar matter Part 2. Nonequilibrium phenomena and plasma (Tanaka): 1. Plasma as a nonequilibrium system 2. Coulomb collision, Fokker-Planck equation 3. Kinetic theory, Boltzmann equation, Landau damping 4. Magnetohydrodynamics, magnetic reconnection, turbulence, and self-organization Part 3. Interface phenomena (Ichikawa): 1. Interface thermodynamics: partition function, surface tension substance, adsorption phenomenon 2. Interface mechanics: wetting transition, Laplace pressure, surface tension measurement methods 3. Interface dynamics: surface tension wave, Plateau-Rayleigh instability, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability 4. Nonequilibrium interface: crystal growth, nonequilibrium interface equation, pattern formation, biological membrane, self-propelled motion |
