Thermodynamics of Crystalline Materials

From Nano to Macro

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides expert treatment of the use of the Calphad calculations for the study of crystal structures and thermodynamics relationships in phase diagram determination. After a short review of the relationships between crystal structures and the thermodynamics of materials, including all possible phase transformations, the book proceeds to a brief discussion of the methods for solving the stability hierarchy of different phases. Coverage includes both theoretical calculations and experimental methods based on classical thermodynamics, with emphasis on the latter. The experimental approach is mainly carried out using heat-exchange data associated with the transition of one form into another. It is demonstrated that the crystallographic properties must be associated with the phase transformations and should be taken into account. The role of X-ray crystallography therein is also discussed. Readers interested in carrying out related research will appreciate the detailed discussion and critical analysis of key results obtained by the author and his colleagues over the past five years.

Autorenporträt

Jean Claude Tedenac, presently Emeritus Professor at the University of Montpellier, was a full Professor at the former University Montpellier 2 until 2014. He was a Visiting Professor at the ITMO University in St. Petersburg, Russia in 2015-2016. His research focuses on the physical chemistry of semiconductors and problems of materials science. He has studied phase stabilities of bulk materials as well as thin films and nanomaterials. A major achievement has been connecting the thermodynamics of multicomponent systems, kinetics, and crystal growth for thermoelectric materials and titanium-based alloys. To date, he has published a total of 256 papers in ISI-indexed journals.
