Title Nonequilibrium Nondissipative Thermodynamics : With Application to Low-Pressure Diamond Synthesis Author(s) Wang, Ji-Tao Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2002. Description XII, 258 p : online resource Abstract Note This book provides a framework for analysing complex systems for which classical thermodynamics is often not applicable. Since the success of the activated process in 1970, diamond growth with simultaneous graphite etching under low pressure has often been regarded as a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. A series of nonequilibrium phase diagrams, which agree excellently with the activated diamond experi- ments, have been calculated by the author and his coworkers on the basis of reaction coupling. The book goes on to de- monstrate how these lead to a complete new systematization of modern thermodynamics ISBN,Price 9783662048290 Keyword(s) 1. Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics 2.
