Holba and Korzhinskĭ treatments of hyperfree energy effective to thermodynamics of partially open solid-state systems of nonstoichiometric oxides

Abstract

Founding and determination of thermodynamic functions related to solid often geologic materials is traced showing interactions between Czech Professor F. Wald and Russian N.S. Kurnakov and D.S. Korzhinskiĭ in the early definition of phases and characterization of partly open systems. Development of thermodynamic notions regarding solid-state description is reviewed. For the coupled definition of a mobile component the hyperfree energy was developed and recently put into operation. Novel but somehow unusual term of the associated plutability is explained.
