This book places crystalline materials and their structure-property relationships at the center of thermodynamic analysis, unlike conventional thermodynamic texts that introduce concepts and principles through the ideal gas model and focus on applications in chemical systems. It therefore bridges the gap between classical thermodynamics and modern materials science. The author develops the fundamental concepts and laws of thermodynamics through models of crystals. These concepts and laws are then extended to phase transformations, elastic interactions, and the formation of equilibrium macro-, micro-, and nanostructures. The book provides readers with the much-needed conceptual tools to understand important topics in thermodynamics of solid materials, including thermal and mechanical constraints, thermodynamic hysteresis and heterophase structure, as well as the critical role of elastic energy in contemporary material systems such as ferroelastic crystals, nanorods, nanoplates and epitaxial thin films.
