The processing and control of the texture of materials are often performed by using the physicochemical phenomena such as the phase transition, mixing and phase separation.
This course explains these phenomena for single, binary and ternary systems based on the chemical potential.
With this course, the students acquire the skills of the model analysis on the phase transition and the phase equilibrium.
