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.
Materials Science and Engineering
材料工程是研究材料成分、结构、工艺、性能与用途有关知识和应用的学科，涉及物质的性质及其在各个科学和工程学领域的整合应用，研究材料的制备或加工工艺、材料的微观结构与材料宏观性能三者之间的相互关系。
