Doping Limits and Growth Thermodynamics of GaSb Crystals

Beside four approaches to the thermodynamics of GaSb-M(=S, Te) solid solutions the doping limits for extremely narrow concentration regions are analysed and ranked in the Cu, Ge, Mn (p-dopants), S, Se, Te (n-dopants) and N, In (isoelectric) groups. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Scaling Laws at the Extremal Limit of Dilaton Black Holes

The thermodynamics of an arbitrary dimensional charged dilaton black hole is investigated. We find that the extremal limit of the black hole is a critical point and the entropy of the black hole is a homogeneous function. Thus the scaling laws hold at the critical point and a phase transition is expected to appear from the extremal to nonextremal dilaton black holes. Some relevant critical exponents are given and they depend manifestly on the content of the theory.     

Entropic Balance Conditions and Optimization of Distillation Column System

The paper considers the limitation problem of the distillation column systems separating multicomponent mixtures with serial and parallel structures. The solution takes into account the irreversibility of processes. Using entropic balance conditions, the dependence of load on heat consumption is obtained for a binary distillation column. This dependence is parameterized through two characteristic coefficients–reversible efficiency and irreversibility factor. This dependence was used to solve problems of distribution of heat and raw material fluxes in parallel column structure and selection of optimal separation order in serial structure. The obtained results make it possible to estimate the minimum heat consumption for the separation of a given flow of raw materials, the maximum productivity, and efficiency of the system.     

Modelling of short-range ordering kinetics in dilute multicomponent substitutional solid solutions

ABSTRACT

Short-range ordering as the formation of couples and pairs between solutes is affected by their formation energies. This is not reflected in the standard regular solution model. Here, we present a new thermodynamic model which accounts for the dependence of the molar Gibbs energy on the concentrations of couples and pairs and their formation energies. The model treats kinetics of couples and pairs formation controlled by diffusion. This new model uses tracer diffusion coefficients of solutes and bond formation energies, which can be taken from ab initio calculations. Insofar, the current concept bridges the gap between ab initio methods and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The reliability of the model is checked by comparison with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The model is applied to an Al-Mg-Si-Cu system. Finally, the configurational entropy for a binary system evaluated with the current model is compared with Bethe’s approximation, which allows estimating of applicability limits of the current model.     

Fine micro-thermal structures for Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole

We solve the condundrum on whether the molecules of the Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole interact through the Ruppeiner thermodynamic geometry, basing our study on the concept of the black hole molecule proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115 (2015) 111302] and choosing the appropriate extensive variables. Our results show that the Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole is indeed an interaction system that may be dominated by repulsive interaction. More importantly, with the help of a novel quantity, namely the thermal-charge density, we describe the fine micro-thermal structures of the Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole in detail. Three different phases are presented, namely the free, interactive, and balanced phases. The thermal-charge density plays a role similar to the order parameter, and the back hole undergoes a new phase transition between the free phase and interactive phase. The competition between the free phase and interactive phase exists, which leads to extreme behavior of the temperature of the Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole. For the extreme Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole, the entire system is completely in the interactive phase. More importantly, we provide the thermodynamic micro-mechanism for the formation of the naked singularity of the Reissner-Nordstr?m black hole.     

On the Thermodynamics of the q-Particles

Since the grand partition function Zq for the so-called q-particles (i.e., quons), q∈(−1,1), cannot be computed by using the standard 2nd quantisation technique involving the full Fock space construction for q=0, and its q-deformations for the remaining cases, we determine such grand partition functions in order to obtain the natural generalisation of the Plank distribution to q∈[−1,1]. We also note the (non) surprising fact that the right grand partition function concerning the Boltzmann case (i.e., q=0) can be easily obtained by using the full Fock space 2nd quantisation, by considering the appropriate correction by the Gibbs factor 1/n! in the n term of the power series expansion with respect to the fugacity z. As an application, we briefly discuss the equations of the state for a gas of free quons or the condensation phenomenon into the ground state, also occurring for the Bose-like quons q∈(0,1).
