Principles Of Classical Thermodynamics: Applied To Materials Science

The aim of this book is to present Classical Thermodynamics in a unified way, from the most fundamental principles to non-uniform systems, thereby requiring the introduction of coarse graining methods, leading for instance to phase field methods. Solutions thermodynamics and temperature–concentration phase diagrams are covered, plus also a brief introduction to statistical thermodynamics and topological disorder. The Landau theory is included along with a general treatment of multicomponent instabilities in various types of thermodynamic applications, including phase separation and order disorder transitions. Nucleation theory and spinodal decomposition are presented as extreme cases of a single approach involving the all-important role of fluctuations. 
 In this way, it is hoped that this coverage will reconcile in a unified manner techniques generally presented separately in physics and materials texts. 
 Readership: Students and professionals in solid state physics and materials science.
