Boltzmann's formula S=In[W(E)] defines the microcanonical ensemble. In 1989, I met Bill Kline, who was Once you think of them like that, you can describe them with a field theory, which is pretty much the same way they describe phase transitions in high-energy physics—the decay of the false vacuum in the early universe, for instance. I was doing classical geophysics until the mid-1980s when I became aware of this area called complexity and chaos theory, which sounded like statistical physics, a subject I had always enjoyed. Daan Frenkel and Rob Eppenga "Monte Carlo Study of the Isotropic-Nematic Transition in a Fluid of Thin Hard Disks", Physical Review Letters 49 pp. It has led to a number of surprising results in the application of thermodynamic concepts to small systems, with many contributions by workers in statistical mechanics. The research topics include superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, the physics of novel materials and nanostructures, and quantum computation.

Frenkel "Monte Carlo study of the isotropic and nematic phases of infinitely thin hard platelets", Molecular Physics 52 pp. The usual textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to the canonical emsemble introduced by Gibbs.

For further discussion of these results The exact solutions of the two dimensional Ising model and the solutions of Lieb on two dimensional ice and ferroelectrics and of Baxter on the eight vertex model showed that phase transitions to an ordered phase could occur in two dimensions.
