Syllabus |
Thermodynamics. Scope, history, language. Zeroth law: temperature. First law: internal energy. Work. Thermal coefficients. Heat. Thermal capacities. Models: perfect gas, incompressible system. Calorimetry. Thermal machines. Second law: Kelvin-Planck, Clausius. Carnot Cycle. Clausius inequality. Entropy. Principle of increasing entropy. Maxwell relations, generalized Mayer and Reech, potentials. Open systems: chemical potential, Gibbs-Euler and Gibbs-Duhem equations. Phase transitions: Clausius-Clapeyron. Third law: Nernst, Planck.
Structure of Matter. Thermal radiation: Planck's law. Photoelectric effect: corpuscular nature of light (Einstein, photons). Compton Effect. Atomic structure: hydrogen atom, semiclassical Bohr model. Wave nature of matter: de Broglie hypothesis. Wave-particle duality. Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Quantum mechanics: Schrödinger equation. Electron spin. Pauli exclusion principle.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The TP classes will be fundamentally theoretical. In these classes, the teacher exposes the theoretical contents, often accompanied by application examples that make them more easily assimilated.
The PL classes will be fundamentally practical. In these classes, some problems selected by the teacher are solved.
