This book gives a general introduction to theoretically understand thermodynamic properties and response to applied fields of mesoscopic systems that closely relate to experiments. This book also opens up new research areas related to the unification of classical and quantum theories and the meaning of time.
Prof. Prosenjit Singha Deo is working at the S.N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in Kolkata, India, since 1999. He has successfully guided several Ph.D. students leading to their Ph.D. in physics and also mentored a few postdocs. His works are mostly analytical and theoretical, but he has worked in close collaboration with experimentalists and co-authored many scientific papers with experimentalists. He has consistently worked on the problems elaborated in the book for over 25 years and more. He has also taught several courses in physics at the level of M.Sc. Before joining S. N. Bose Centre, he spent about 3 years in Europe as a postdoctoral fellow. He did his Ph.D. in physics in 1996 from the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India.
