Phase Coexistence, Interface Tension and Convexity of Thermodynamic Potentials

Explore phase coexistence, interface tension, and the convexity of thermodynamic potentials in this 29-minute conference talk by Vera Bohomoletz Henriques from IFUSP. Delivered as part of the II ICTP-SAIFR Condensed Matter Theory in the Metropolis event held from November 9-11, 2022, this presentation delves into fundamental concepts in condensed matter physics. Gain insights into the complex interplay between different phases of matter, the properties of interfaces between these phases, and the mathematical framework of thermodynamic potentials. Enhance your understanding of these critical topics in condensed matter theory and their implications for various physical systems.
