The goal | The main course goal is for students to master the knowledge and skills referring to thermodynamics of processes and phenomena that do appear in the solid state and to train the student in the application of the basic concepts to problems that are commonly encountered by the materials scientist. | |||
The outcome | Students are capable to connect, interrelate and apply the laws of Thermodynamics and relations that exist between thermodynamic potential with material properties and parameters of technological processes and this way to influence the conditions in order to obtain certain properties. Students are introduced to various fields of solid state thermodynamics enabling to model and analyze increasingly complex systems. | |||
Contents | ||||
Contents of lectures | Students gain knowledge about: Fundamental equations of the chemical thermodynamics for the systems subjected to constant or variable external field (electrical, magnetic and gravitational) taking into account surface effects; Irreversible thermodynamics : entropy generation, flux-force interrelationship, coupled processes, thermoelectric effects: Seebeck and Peltier effects; Thermodynamics of surfaces and interfaces: surface tension and surface energy, anisotropy of surface energy, internal boundaries-chemical discontinuity; Phase transformations:first order transition, higher order change of phase, with samples: superconducting phase change, superfluid transition in liquid helium; Diffusion in the solid state: the influence of concentration and temperature on diffusion coefficient; Defects, basics of defects, defect reactions, defects in nearly stoichiometric compounds and in non stiochiometric compounds. ; | |||
