'Thermodynamics of Materials' introduces the basic underlying principles of thermodynamics as well as their applicability to the behavior of all classes of materials, while providing an integrated approach from macro- (or classical) thermodynamics to meso- and nanothermodynamics, and microscopic (or statistical) thermodynamics. Treatment of the laws of thermodynamics and their applications to equilibrium and the properties of materials. Provides a foundation to treat general phenomena in materials science and engineering, including chemical reactions, magnetism, polarizability, and elasticity. Develops relations pertaining to multiphase equilibria as determined by a treatment of solution thermodynamics.

Course Description
Treatment of the laws of thermodynamics and their applications to equilibrium and the properties of materials. Provides a foundation to treat general phenomena in materials science and engineering, including chemical reactions, magnetism, polarizability, and elasticity. Develops relations pertaining to multiphase equilibria as determined by a treatment of solution thermodynamics. Develops graphical constructions that are essential for the interpretation of phase diagrams. Treatment includes electrochemical equilibria and surface thermodynamics. Introduces aspects of statistical thermodynamics as they relate to macroscopic equilibrium phenomena.

The thermodynamic properties of materials are intensive thermodynamic parameters which are specific to a given material. Each is directly related to a second order differential of a thermodynamic potential. Examples for a simple 1-component system are:
- Compressibility (or its inverse, the bulk modulus)
- Isothermal compressibility
- Adiabatic compressibility
- Specific heat (Note - the extensive analog is the heat capacity)
- Specific heat at constant pressure
- Specific heat at constant volume
- Coefficient of thermal expansion
where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, S is entropy, and N is the number of particles.
For a single component system, only three second derivatives are needed in order to derive all others, and so only three material properties are needed to derive all others. For a single component system, the 'standard' three parameters are the isothermal compressibility , the specific heat at constant pressure , and the coefficient of thermal expansion .
For example, the following equations are true:
The three 'standard' properties are in fact the three possible second derivatives of the Gibbs free energy with respect to temperature and pressure.
