Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Fast Particles in Solids

This book examines the kinetics and non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics of fast charged particles moving in crystals in different modes. This line of research is very different from traditional ways of constructing a theory of radiation effects, which gives a purely mechanistic interpretation of particle motion. The theory presented in the book, in addition to the collision, takes into account the thermodynamic forces due to separation of the thermodynamic parameters of the subsystem of particles ("hot" atoms) on the parameters of the thermostat (electrons and lattice).
