Problem with microstates and corresponding volume in the phase space

I've been struggling without any result on a formal problem about the relation between microscopic states of a system and the volume occupied by a macrostate in the phase space....

What's the cause of sideways pressure (and why pressure is scalar)?

Since I think the two questions are related that's why I decided to put them together. Why pressure is a scalar ? It's the ratio of two vectors (force and...

In what sense is the proper/effective action $Gamma[phi_c]$ a quantum-corrected classical action $S[phi]$?

There is a difference between the classical field $phi(x)$ (which appears in the classical action $S[phi]$) and the quantity $phi_c$ defined as $$phi_c(x)equivlangle 0|hat{phi}(x)|0rangle_J$$ which appears...

Why is the reason for validity of the formula for wavelength of characteristic X-rays?

The wavelength of Characteristic X-ray emissions is given by the expression $$frac{1}{lambda}=R_text{H} (Z_{eff})^2 left(frac{1}{n^2}-frac{1}{m^2}right)$$ Where $R_text{H}$ stands for Rydberg's constant and $n$ & $m$ denotes the...

Why does the ion and electron currents saturate in Langmuir probes?

From the I-V characteristics of the Langmuir probes used in Plasma diagnostics, we can calculate the plasma density, temperature, etc from the ion and electron saturation currents. But why does...

Nuclear fusion scaling with reactor size

Thinking about the physics of thermonuclear fusion, I have always had an intuitive sense that making fusion feasible is matter of reactor size. In other words I feel like:...
