一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>
<br>This is an advanced course of thermodynamics for graduate students in the 
<br>Department of Materials Science and Engineering.  Students from other 
<br>disciplines in science and engineering are also welcome to take.  The course 
<br>will start from review of the three laws of thermodynamics and then move to 
<br>more insight of entropy and free energies. The calculation and application 
<br>of Gibbs free energy in solid solutions and alloy systems will be 
<br>emphasized, which will then be correlated with the construction of phase 
<br>diagrams. The thermodynamics involved in surface energy and nanomaterials will 
<br>be 
<br>elaborated. Students will be asked to participate in classroom discussion. 
<br>Teaching materials also come from the OCW or MOOCs on the web. The lecture will 
<br>be 
<br>given in English.
