This study presents a comprehensive framework for constitutive modeling of a frame-invariant fractional-order approach to nonlocal thermoelasticity in solids. For this purpose, thermodynamic and mechanical balance laws are derived for…

We present a thermodynamic theory of the Kovacs effect based on the idea that the configurational degrees of freedom of a glass-forming material are driven out of equilibrium with the heat bath by irreversible thermal contraction and…

Sublattice melting is the loss of order of one lattice component in binary or ternary ionic crystals upon increase in temperature. A related transition has been predicted in colloidal crystals. To understand the nature of this transition,…

In this paper we develop a generalized formalism for equilibrium thermodynamic systems when an information is shared between the system and the reservoir. The information results in a correction to the entropy of the system. This extension…

We propose a stochastic order parameter equation for describing phase coexistence in steady heat conduction near equilibrium. By analyzing the stochastic dynamics with a non-equilibrium adiabatic boundary condition, where total energy is…

Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for extending the notions of classical thermodynamics like work, heat and entropy production to the level of individual trajectories of well-defined…

Point defects dictate the properties of many functional materials. The standard approach to modelling the thermodynamics of defects relies on a static description, where the change in Gibbs free energy is approximated by the internal…

This paper presents a thermodynamically consistent model for multicomponent electrolyte solutions. The first part of this paper derives the general governing equations for nonequilibrium systems within the theory of nonequilibrium…

We investigate the influence of non equilibrium thermodynamics on cosmological structure formation. In this paper, we consider the collapse of planar perturbations usually called "Zel'dovich pancakes". We have developed for that purpose a…

The hyperbolic tangent function is usually used as a reliable approximation of the equilibrium density distributions of a system with phase transitions. However, analyzing the accuracies of the numerical derivatives, we find that its…

Exploration of structure-property relationships as a function of dopant concentration is commonly based on mean field theories for solid solutions. However, such theories that work well for semiconductors tend to fail in materials with…

Understanding the realization of thermal equilibrium through the thermalization process in a many-body system is a fundamental and complex scientific question, bridging thermodynamics and classical dynamics and connecting to a host of…

The electrical and optical properties of semiconductor materials are profoundly influenced by the atomic configurations and concentrations of intrinsic defects. This influence is particularly significant in the case of $\beta$-$\rm…

A large class of quantum phase transitions for quantum lattice systems are characterized by local order parameters. It is shown that local order parameters may be systematically constructed from tensor network representations of quantum…

Protein folding produces characteristic and functional three-dimensional structures from unfolded polypeptides or disordered coils. The emergence of extraordinary complexity in the protein folding process poses astonishing challenges to…

Topological defects play a fundamental role in the investigation of symmetries in quantum field theories. For conformal field theories in two space-time dimensions, it is possible to construct these defects using lattice models allowing…

The melting transitions of a colloidal lattice confined to a two-dimensional ($2D$) periodic substrate of square symmetry are studied using Monte Carlo simulations. When the strengths of interparticle and particle-substrate interactions are…

This thesis is devoted to the theoretical study of slow thermodynamic processes in non-equilibrium stochastic systems. Its main result is a physically and mathematically consistent construction of relevant thermodynamic quantities in the…

For warm and hot dense plasma (WHDP), the ionization potential depression (IPD) is a key physical parameter in determining its ionization balance, therefore a reliable and universal IPD model is highly required to understand its microscopic…

A new mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamic approach is developed. The approach is based on the thermodynamic identity associated the first and second law of thermodynamics. In the framework of the approach different internal dissipative…
