Thermodynamics energy-temperature diagrams

Obtaining the thermodynamically metastable form in an enantiotropic system the information for obtaining and maintaining this form is essentially found in the energy-temperature diagram. 

Figs. 6A and B illustrate the plots of the functions G and H versus temperature (energy/temperature diagrams) for each polymorph and for the liquid. The thermodynamic reversibility of the solid transition between two crystalline forms is characteristic of enantiotropic systems. Each form has its thermodynamic stability range. The lower melting form is... 

The authors discuss Schroeder s paradox, referred to elsewhere in this review, and the fact that liquid water uptake increases but saturated water uptake decreases with temperature. And, at low temperature, the water uptake by membranes in contact with saturated vapor is greater than that by membranes in contact with liquid water, which suggests a fundamental difference in membrane microstructure for the two situations. An energy level diagram of thermodynamic states versus temperature was proposed, based on this Flory—Huggins-based model. 

The science dealing with phase transitions is thermodynamics. Using thermodynamics, we may discuss which phase will eventually be formed when a material (of composition c and phase p) is maintained under the same conditions for an infinite time, and the phase reaches the minimum energy state (equilibrium state) under given thermodynamic conditions (temperature and pressure). Experimentally, a phase diagram (equilibrium phase diagram) is prepared, and we may use the data... 

These results indicate that the transition from surface state III to surface state II is thermodynamically favorable. The redox potential of the trapped site coordinated with one carboxyl groups is less negative than the redox potential of the site coordinated with two carboxyl groups simultaneously. On this basis the energy level diagram of the electron trapped sites was proposed (Fig. 6). Such temperature transformations are typical for Pb doped and pure aqueous colloidal solutions. When the temperature is raised to room temperature for Pb ion doped solution, all photogenerated electrons are scavenged by metal ions,... 

As the energy-temperature phase diagram (Section 2.2.3) indicates, at any particular temperature only one polymorphic form is the thermodynamically stable one (except, of course at the temperature of a transition point). The stable form is also the least soluble form at a given temperature (Bym et al. 1999). All other phases are higher in energy and metastable with respect to the most stable phase. A metastable phase may be fleeting in nature (e.g. benzamide, Bernstein and Davis 1999) or may coexist indefinitely with its more stable counterpart in the absence of any perturbations... 

Standard free energy of formation versus temperature diagrams which allow the thermodynamic data for a given class of compounds, oxides, sulphides, carbides, etc., to be presented in a compact form. 

In order to examine the possible relationship between the bulk thermodynamics of binary transition metal-aluminum alloys and their tendency to form at underpotentials, the room-temperature free energies of several such alloys were calculated as a function of composition using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) method [85]. The Gibbs energy of a particular phase, G, was calculated by using Eq. (14),...
