Appendix a DERIVATION of THERMODYNAMIC EQUATIONS 1 Appendix A DERIVATION OF THERMODYNAMIC EQUATIONS This appendix derives the thermodynamic equations that are used in the main manuscript of our paper entitled “A Multi-scale Analysis of the Crystallization of Amorphous Germa- nium Telluride Using Ab-Initio Simulations and Classical Crystallization Theory”. Specifi- cally speaking, Equation (7), (8), and (9) in the main manuscript are derived, which quanti- tatively describe the three key physical variables that jointly determine the crystallization of amorphous PCM, i.e. the Gibbs free energy difference (Section A.1), the interfacial energy density (Section A.2), and the elastic energy density (Section A.3), respectively. In this appendix, we focus on mathematical derivation only, in order to provide more details about the theory that is used in the paper. The physical interpretation of the equations and various physical quantities can be found in the main manuscript. A.1 Derivation of Gibbs free energy difference The internal energy U (eV) of a thermodynamic system U = U (S,V,Ni) (A.1) 3 is a function of entropy S (eV/K), volume (A˚ ), and number of atom species i (i = 1, 2, ··· ,N) Ni. Taking the total differentiation of internal energy, ∂U ∂U ∂U dU = dS + dV + dN (A.2) ∂S ∂V ∂N i V,Ni S,Ni i i S,V X If we define temperature T (K), pressure P (Pa), and chemical potential of atom species i µi (eV) as ∂U ∂U ∂U T ≡ , P ≡− , µ ≡ , (A.3) ∂S ∂V i ∂N V,Ni S,Ni i S,V respectively, we have dU = T dS − PdV + µidNi (A.4) i X 2 The enthalpy H (eV) of a thermodynamic system is defined as H = U + PV (A.5) For the NPT system, the total differentiation of enthalpy dH = dU + PdV (A.6) = T dS + µidNi i X = T dS gives dH (T ) dS (T )= (A.7) T By taking integration, we have T dH (T ) S (T ) = S (Tm−)+ (A.8) − T ZTm T cV = S (Tm−)+ dT − T ZTm 3 where c is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure (eV/KA˚ ), and Tm is the melting temperature (K). Therefore, T c s (T )= s (Tm−)+ dT (A.9) − T ZTm 3 where s is the entropy density (eV/KA˚ ), which is written as S hereafter for consistency with the main context. For amorphous GeTe, T ca Sa (T )= Sa (Tm−)+ dT (A.10) − T ZTm 3 where Sa is the amorphous GeTe entropy density (eV/KA˚ ) and ca is the amorphous GeTe 3 specific heat capacity at constant pressure (eV/KA˚ ). For crystalline GeTe, T cc Sc (T )= Sc (Tm−)+ dT (A.11) − T ZTm 3 3 where Sc is the crystalline GeTe entropy density (eV/KA˚ ) and cc is the crystalline GeTe 3 specific heat capacity at constant pressure (eV/KA˚ ). Therefore, − ∆Sac (T ) = Sa (T ) Sc (T ) (A.12) T ca − cc = Sa (Tm−) − Sc (Tm−)+ dT − T ZTm T ca − cc = Sl (Tm+) − Sc (Tm−)+ dT − T ZTm ∆H T c − c = m + a c dT T − T m ZTm 3 where Sl is the liquid GeTe entropy density (eV/KA˚ ) and ∆Hm is the latent heat of fusion 3 of GeTe (eV/A˚ ). The Gibbs free energy of a system is defined as G = U + PV − TS (A.13) For the NPT system in an unconstrained state (P =0), G = U − TS (A.14) Therefore, ∆Gac (T ) = Ga (T ) − Gc (T ) (A.15) = [Ua (T ) − Uc (T )] − T [Sa (T ) − Sc (T )] = ∆Uac (T ) − T ∆Sac (T ) T ∆Hm ca − cc = ∆Uac (T ) − T + dT T − T m ZTm which is Equation (7) in the main manuscript. A.2 Derivation of the interfacial energy density 2 To obtain the interfacial energy density σ (T ) (eV/A˚ ), the NPT AIMD is used to simulate three systems with periodic boundary conditions applied at the supercell boundaries: × × a 1. amorphous GeTe supercell with size Lx Ly Lz . 4 × × c 2. crystalline GeTe supercell with size Lx Ly Lz. × × a c 3. welded supercell with size Lx Ly (Lz + Lz) containing both amorphous and crys- talline GeTe supercells. a c During the NPT simulation, Lx, Ly, Lz , and Lz are allowed to change to control pressure P = 0. The internal energies of the three systems are Ua (eV), Uc (eV), and Uac (eV), respectively. For the NPT (P=0) systems, the Gibbs free energy (eV) G = U + PV − TS (A.16) = U − TS 3 where U is the internal energy (eV), P is the pressure (Pa), V is the volume (A˚ ), T is the temperature (K), and S is the entropy (eV/K). Since the NPT AIMD only last for several ps and no phase change will occur and entropy describes how disordered the system is, the welded system entropy (Sac) will be approximately the same as the sum of crystalline system entropy (Sc) and amorphous system entropy (Sa). Thus, − − − Gac − (Ga + Gc) = Uac (Ua + Uc) T [Sac (Sa + Sc)] (A.17) ≈ Uac − (Ua + Uc) Therefore, U − (U + U ) σ (T )= ac a c (A.18) 2A 2 i.e. Equation (8) in the main manuscript, where A is the interface area (A˚ ). A.3 Derivation of the Murnaghan equation of state The bulk modulus is defined as ∂P B = −V (A.19) ∂V T and the pressure derivative of bulk modulus is ′ ∂B B = (A.20) ∂P T 5 3 where V is the volume (A˚ ), T is the temperature (K), and P is the pressure (Pa). ′ ′ ′ Since B is experimentally found to change little with pressure, B = B0 (the subscript 0 means P = 0, i.e. the system has the most energetically favorable configuration). Thus, P ′ B = B0 + B dP (A.21) 0 Z ′ = B0 + B0P ∂P = −V ∂V T Therefore, B0 −d P + ′ dV −dP B0 = ′ = (A.22) V B0 + B P ′ B0 0 B0 P + ′ B0 Taking the integration, P V 1 B0 ln = − ln P + ′ (A.23) V0 B0 B 0 0 − 1 B0 B0 P + B′ = ln 0 −1 B0 B0 ′ B0 − 1 ′ B B0 0 = ln 1+ P B0 So, − 1 ′ B B0 0 V (P )= V0 1+ P (A.24) B0 i.e., B′ B0 V0 0 P (V )= − 1 (A.25) B′ V 0 " # According to Equation A.4 dU = T dS − PdV + µidNi (A.26) i X the internal energy of crystalline GeTe is changed by dU ≈−PdV (A.27) when the volume is change by dV . Here, we take advantage of that the entropy S is a description of how disordered the system is, thus −PdV is much more important than T dS and it dominates dU. 6 By taking the integration, V U (V ) = U (V0) − PdV (A.28) V0 Z ′ V B V B0 V0 0 B0 = U (V0) − ′ dV + ′ dV V0 B0 V V0 B0 Z ′ Z B0 B0V ′ 1− ′ B0 0 1−B0 B0 = U (V0) − ′ ′ V − V0 + ′ (V − V0) B0 (1 − B0) B0 B′ B0V 1 V0 0 B0V0 = U (V0)+ + 1 − B′ B′ − 1 V B′ − 1 0 " 0 # 0 3 So, the elastic energy density (eV/A˚ ) is U (V ) − U (V0) E (T ) = (A.29) e V B′ B0 1 V0 0 B0 V0 = + 1 − B′ B′ − 1 V B′ − 1 V 0 " 0 # 0 ′ ′ i.e. Equation (9) in the main manuscript. Since V0 = V0 (T ), B0 = B0 (T ), and B0 = B0 (T ), Ee is temperature dependent too..

Pelton Centre de Recherche en Calcul Thermodynamique (CRCT) École Polytechnique de Montréal C.P. 6079, succursale Centre-ville Montréal QC Canada H3C 3A7 Tél : 1-514-340-4711 (ext. 4531) Fax : 1-514-340-5840 E-mail : [email protected] (revised Aug. 10, 2011) 2 1 Introduction An understanding of phase diagrams is fundamental and essential to the study of materials science, and an understanding of thermodynamics is fundamental to an understanding of phase diagrams. A knowledge of the equilibrium state of a system under a given set of conditions is the starting point in the description of many phenomena and processes. A phase diagram is a graphical representation of the values of the thermodynamic variables when equilibrium is established among the phases of a system. Materials scientists are most familiar with phase diagrams which involve temperature, T, and composition as variables. Examples are T-composition phase diagrams for binary systems such as Fig. 1 for the Fe-Mo system, isothermal phase diagram sections of ternary systems such as Fig. 2 for the Zn-Mg-Al system, and isoplethal (constant composition) sections of ternary and higher-order systems such as Fig. 3a and Fig. 4. However, many useful phase diagrams can be drawn which involve variables other than T and composition. The diagram in Fig. 5 shows the phases present at equilibrium o in the Fe-Ni-O2 system at 1200 C as the equilibrium oxygen partial pressure (i.e. chemical potential) is varied. The x-axis of this diagram is the overall molar metal ratio in the system.

Schimpf 2 1 Institute of Biochemical Physics RAS, Moscow 119334, Russia 2 Department of Chemistry, Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Presented at the 5th International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications, 18–30 November 2019; Available online: https://ecea-5.sciforum.net/. Published: 17 November 2019 Abstract: We analyze existing models for material transport in non-isothermal non-electrolyte liquid mixtures that utilize non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Many different sets of equations for material have been derived that, while based on the same fundamental expression of entropy production, utilize different terms of the temperature- and concentration-induced gradients in the chemical potential to express the material flux. We reason that only by establishing a system of transport equations that satisfies the following three requirements can we obtain a valid thermodynamic model of thermodiffusion based on entropy production, and understand the underlying physical mechanism: (1) Maintenance of mechanical equilibrium in a closed steady-state system, expressed by a form of the Gibbs–Duhem equation that accounts for all the relevant gradients in concentration, temperature, and pressure and respective thermodynamic forces; (2) thermodiffusion (thermophoresis) is zero in pure unbounded liquids (i.e., in the absence of wall effects); (3) invariance in the derived concentrations of components in a mixture, regardless of which concentration or material flux is considered to be the dependent versus independent variable in an overdetermined system of material transport equations. The analysis shows that thermodiffusion in liquids is based on the entropic mechanism.

  • Definition of the Ideal Gas
    ON THE DEFINITION OF THE IDEAL GAS. By Edgar Bucidngham. I . Nature and purpose of the definition.—The notion of the ideal gas is that of a gas having particularly simple physical properties to which the properties of the real gases may be considered as approximations; or of a standard to which the real gases may be referred, the properties of the ideal gas being simply defined and the properties of the real gases being then expressible as the prop- erties of the standard plus certain corrections which pertain to the individual gases. The smaller these corrections the more nearly the real gas approaches to being in the "ideal state." This con- ception grew naturally from the fact that the earlier experiments on gases showed that they did not differ much in their physical properties, so that it was possible to define an ideal standard in such a way that the corrections above referred to should in fact all be ''small" in terms of the unavoidable errors of experiment. Such a conception would hardly arise to-day, or if it did, would not be so simple as that which has come down to us from earlier times when the art of experimenting upon gases was less advanced. It is evident that a quantitative definition of the ideal standard gas needs to be more or less complete and precise according to the nature of the problem under immediate consideration. If changes of temperature and of internal energy play no part, all that is usually needed is a standard relation between pressure and volume.

Persson2,3 Thermodynamic equations of state (EOS) for crystalline solids describe material behaviors under changes in pressure, volume, entropy and temperature, making them fundamental to scientific research in a wide range of fields including geophysics, energy storage and development of novel materials. Despite over a century of theoretical development and experimental testing of energy–volume (E–V) EOS for solids, there is still a lack of consensus with regard to which equation is indeed optimal, as well as to what metric is most appropriate for making this judgment. In this study, several metrics were used to evaluate quality of fit for 8 different EOS across 87 elements and over 100 compounds which appear in the literature. Our findings do not indicate a clear “best” EOS, but we identify three which consistently perform well relative to the rest of the set. Furthermore, we find that for the aggregate data set, the RMSrD is not strongly correlated with the nature of the compound, e.g., whether it is a metal, insulator, or semiconductor, nor the bulk modulus for any of the EOS, indicating that a single equation can be used across a broad range of classes of materials.

Phys., 2017, 19, 17331 Thomas Heimburg Onsager’s phenomenological equations successfully describe irreversible thermodynamic processes. They assume a symmetric coupling matrix between thermodynamic fluxes and forces. It is easily shown that the antisymmetric part of a coupling matrix does not contribute to dissipation.

This is a necessary and urgent discussion because of the increasing interest in thermodynamic theories beyond local equilibrium, in computer simulations, in non-linear statistical mechanics, in new experiments, and in technological applications of nanoscale systems and material sciences. First, we briefly review the concept of temperature from the perspectives of equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Afterwards, we explore which of the equilibrium concepts may be extrapolated beyond local equilibrium and which of them should be modified, then we review several attempts to define temperature in non-equilibrium situations from macroscopic and microscopic bases. A wide review of proposals is offered on effective non-equilibrium temperatures and their application to ideal and real gases, electromagnetic radiation, nuclear collisions, granular systems, glasses, sheared fluids, amorphous semiconductors and turbulent fluids. The consistency between the different relativistic transformation laws for temperature is discussed in the new light gained from this perspective.
