This textbook provides an exposition of equilibrium thermodynamics
and its applications to several areas of physics with particular
attention to phase transitions and critical phenomena. The
applications include several areas of condensed matter physics and
include also a chapter on thermochemistry. Phase transitions and
critical phenomena are treated according to the modern development
of the field, based on the ideas of universality and on the Widom
scaling theory. For each topic, a mean-field or Landau theory is
presented to describe qualitatively the phase transitions. These
theories include the van der Waals theory of the liquid-vapor
transition, the Hildebrand-Heitler theory of regular mixtures, the
Griffiths-Landau theory for multicritical points in multicomponent
systems, the Bragg-Williams theory of order-disorder in alloys, the
Weiss theory of ferromagnetism, the Neel theory of
antiferromagnetism, the Devonshire theory for ferroelectrics and
Landau-de Gennes theory of liquid crystals. This textbook is
intended for students in physics and chemistry and provides a
unique combination of thorough theoretical explanation and
presentation of applications in both areas. Chapter summaries,
highlighted essentials and problems with solutions enable a self
sustained approach and deepen the knowledge.
