Beyond Classical Thermodynamics: Grain Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
It is my great pleasure to give a talk at the Martin Glicksman Festival. The work which I was going to present here was published recently [1], and I decided to shift the discussion to the motivation of this work, which seems more interesting than the work itself. It is gradually being recognized in various branches of physics that the macroscopic description of solids requires “new thermodynamics” (all references are given in [1] and not repeated here). To explain this point we first outline some basic facts of classical thermodynamics.

Intrinsic compressive stress in polycrystalline films with negligible grain boundary diffusion
The model developed here describes compressive stress evolution during the growth of continuous, polycrystalline films ~i.e., beyond the point where individual islands have coalesced into a continuous film!. These stresses are attributed to the insertion of excess adatoms at grain boundaries. Steady state occurs when the strain energy at the top of the film is balanced by the local excess chemi...
متن کاملThe Boltzmann Entropy and Randomness Tests
In the context of the dynamical systems of classical mechanics, we introduce two new notions called “algorithmic fine-grain and coarse-grain entropy”. The fine-grain algorithmic entropy is, on the one hand, a simple variant of the randomness tests of MartinLöf (and others) and is, on the other hand, a connecting link between description (Kolmogorov) complexity, Gibbs entropy and Boltzmann entro...
متن کاملA non-conventional discontinuous Lagrangian for viscous flow
Drawing an analogy with quantum mechanics, a new Lagrangian is proposed for a variational formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations which to-date has remained elusive. A key feature is that the resulting Lagrangian is discontinuous in nature, posing additional challenges apropos the mathematical treatment of the related variational problem, all of which are resolvable. In addition to extending...
متن کاملThermodynamics of microstructure evolution: grain growth
It is gradually getting clear that the macroscopic description of microstructure evolution requires additional thermodynamic parameters, entropy of microstructure and temperature of microstructure. It was claimed that there is "one more law of thermodynamics": entropy of microstructure must decay in isolated thermodynamic stable systems. Such behavior is opposite to that of thermodynamic entrop...
متن کاملA continuum theory of grain size evolution and damage
[1] Lithospheric shear localization, as occurs in the formation of tectonic plate boundaries, is often associated with diminished grain size (e.g., mylonites). Grain size reduction is typically attributed to dynamic recrystallization; however, theoretical models of shear localization arising from this hypothesis are problematic because (1) they require the simultaneous action of two creep mecha...
