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"--$cProvided by publisher. 610 0 $aThermodynamics 610 0 $aMaterials science 676 $a536/.7 700 1$aDe Fontaine,$bDidier$f1931-$0786334 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gRICA$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9910402358603321 952 $a13 SC I P 63$b2852 / 2020$fFINBC 959 $aFINBC 996 $aPrinciples of classical thermodynamics$91750974 997 $aUNINA
