Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023 The non-isothermal deformation of soft mudrocks or clay soils is one of the most critical issues in energy and environmental related geotechnics. Clay-related geomaterials hold complex microstructure and mineral composition, which brings difficulty in ...

Entropy, 2008 We discuss the different roles of the entropy principle in modern thermodynamics. We start with the approach of rational thermodynamics in which the entropy principle becomes a selection rule for physical constitutive equations.

Notes on the Generalised Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 1997 Several comments are given to previous proofs of the generalised second law of thermodynamics: black hole entropy plus ordinary matter entropy never decreases for a thermally closed system. Arguments in favour of its truism are given in the spirit of conventional thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics Far from Equilibrium: from Glasses to Black Holes [PDF]
, 2001 A framework for the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of glasses is discussed. It also explains the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of a black hole isolated from matter. The first and second laws of black dynamics and black hole thermodynamics are shown to coincide, while the third laws deal with different issues.

Exciton Dynamics in Layered Halide Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses the exciton dynamics in layered halide perovskitelight‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs). It opens with a summary of the structural and photophysical aspects, followed by an exploration of controlling dimensionality and cascade exciton transfer in quasi‐2D PeLEDs.

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 We first use the Hamilton–Jacobi method to describe the motion in curved spacetime of a scalar particle and a fermion, which are shown to satisfy the same Hamilton–Jacobi equation. To investigate the laws of thermodynamics and the weak cosmic censorship,

Black Holes, Entropy and the Third Law [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 There would be a perfect correspondence between the laws of classical thermodynamics and black hole thermodynamics, except for the apparent failure of black hole thermodynamics to correspond to the Third Law. The classical Third Law of Thermodynamics entails that as the absolute temperature, T, approaches zero, the entropy, S, also approaches zero ...

Computational Modeling of Reticular Materials: The Past, the Present, and the Future
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Reticular materials are advanced materials with applications in emerging technologies. A thorough understanding of material properties at operating conditions is critical to accelerate the deployment at an industrial scale. Herein, the status of computational modeling of reticular materials is reviewed, supplemented with topical examples highlighting ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...
