| Content: |
This is a graduate course! The 'raison d'être' of graduate courses shall be to bring the student to the forefront of current research activities in the
the lecturer's area of expertise. For the present course this means that the student is supposed to be familiar with the basics of electromagnetism and its formalism.
It is up to the student who realizes that he has gaps of knowledge to fill them until being able to benefit from the lectures. Possible topics of this lecture include: |
| 1. Equilibrium thermodynamics |
| 2. State function |
| 3. First law and the conservation of energy |
| 4. Thermal capacity and entropy (second Law) |
| 5. Gibbs and Helmholtz energy |
| 6. Maxwell relation |
| 7. Third law of thermodynamics |
| 8. Chemical potential |
| 9. Phase and equilibrium diagram |
| 10. Chemical equilibrium |
| 11. Statistical thermodynamics |
| 12. Partition and state function |
| 13. Translational, rotational, and vibrational quantization laws |
| 14. Molar thermal capacity in solids |
| 15. Quantum statistics (Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac and Boltzmann distribution) |
| 16. Electronic structure in solids |
| 17. Structure and physical properties of systems |
| 18. Crystalline structure |
| 19. Defects in solids |
| 20. Mass and charge transport |
| 21. Thermal conduction |
| 22. Capillarity effects |
| 23. Electrochemistry |
|
| Evaluation/approvation: |
Written tests will be applied, homeworks will be given, and a seminar will be organized.
The seminar will include a written monograph and an oral presentation. The seminar grade counts 1/2 of the final grade. The
presentation of the exercises and the participation in the subsequent discussions will be evaluated and counts for 1/2 in the final grade. |
