1. Equilibrium thermodynamics: local forms of conservation laws and thermodynamical relations. Constitutive relations. Landau theory of phase transitions, critical phenomena. Negative absolute temperatures.

2. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics: general description of non-equilibrium processes, principle of minimal entropy production, variational principles. Onsager theory of kinetic coefficients. Spatial and temporal dissipative structures.

3. Equilibrium statistical physics: broadening of Gibbs method (T---p ensable). Systems of non-interacting quantum particles (fermions, bosons, advanced applications). Interacting particles (classical and quantum gases, Ising model). Theory of fluctuations. Scaling theory, universality, renormalization. Mean field theory, disordered systems.

4. Non-equlibrium statistical physics: Liouville equation for classical and quantum systems. Boltzmann kinetic equation. Linear response theory, fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Mesoscopic description and stochastic methods.

5., 6. Phase equilibrium, stability conditions in the multicomponent system. Thermodynamics of solutions. Free enthalpy. Chemical potential. Common-tangent construction. Gibbs-Duhem relation. Partial quantities. Activity. Ideal, regular and real solid solutions. Quantities of mixing.

7. Binary phase diagrams. Total solubility. Limited solubility, eutectic diagram, peritectic diagram. Short-range order. Long-range order. Intermedial phases. Ternary phase diagrams. Solidification of alloys, purification of materials, segregation processes. Transformations in solid state: diffusional and non-diffusional.

8. Statistical models using interactions of nearest neighbors (for regular solid solutions, for short range order and long range order, configurational free energy of compounds).
