The collected works of Eugene Paul Wigner. Part I, Physical chemistry. Part II, Solid state physics /

The fourth volume of the Collected Works is devoted to Wigner's contribution to physical chemistry, statistical mechanics and solid-state physics. In his annotation to the first part, N. Balazs clearly points out Wigner's role in early quantum chemistry and applied statistical mechanics. O...
