Clapeyron equation
<p></p>
The Clausius-Clapeyron relation
was introduced for one-component systems. It can be used to calculate the shift in transition
temperature.
<br>
<center>
<math> \frac
= \frac{- \Delta X_j}
</math>

<br>
Below this is written in terms of the enthalpy
difference
<center>
<br>
<math> \frac
= \frac{-T \Delta X_j}
</math>
</center>
<br>
The above equation could be generalized in terms of any two conjugate pairs, with a phase curve relating their intensive variables
.

Super-elasticity
<p></p>
Imagine two phases
, a high temperature phase, <math>P</math>, and a low temperature, matensite phase, <math>M</math>. The martensite phase is larger in one direction, and this fact can be used to control the free energy
difference. Look at the equations of energy and find a differential relating length, force
, and free energy.
<center>
<br>
<math> dU = ... + F dl </math>
<br>
<math> G = U -TS + PV -Fl </math>
<br>
<math>l = \left (\frac{-\partial G}
\right )_
</math>
</center>
<br>
The derivative of free energy with respect to force is equal to the length. A larger length corresponds to a larger decrease in free energy with the application of force. This fact can be used to influence phase transition. When the states of a sample are close in free energy, elongation could be induced by a phase transition. The martensite phase would decrease more in free energy, and there could be a transition from the <math>P</math> phase to the <math>M</math> phase.
<p></p>
Imagine a sample at temperature <math>T</math> between <math>T_o</math> and <math>T(F)</math>. With the application of a force, there can be a phase transition. We would want a fairly reversible transition in a useful temperature range.

This example is based on a one-dimensional change. In three dimensions, there would be a change in crystal symmetry
, and all lattice vectors would change. Calculations would involve more than one crystal and would be more complicated.

Example calculation
<p></p>
Calculate how much stress
is needed to be applied to induce a phase transition.
<center>
<br>
<math> T_o = 300 K</math>
<br>
<math> \Delta H = 300 \frac
</math>
<br>
<math> \Delta \epsilon = -0.075 </math>
</center>
<br>
Below is a Clausius-Clapeyron equation, and the extensive variables
are changed to intensive quantities.
<center>
<br>
<math> \frac
= \frac{- \Delta S}
</math>
<br>
<math> \Delta l = \Delta \epsilon l </math>
<br>
<math> \frac
\left ( \frac
\right ) = \frac
\left ( \frac{- \Delta S}
\right )</math>
<br>
<math> \frac
= \frac{- \Delta S}
</math>
<br>
<math> \frac

It is important to stay in the elastic regime. Plastic deformation
is an irreversible process
. Plastic deformation in metals usually occurs at a few hundred MPa, so in the example above, there could be a phase transition before plastic deformation. It's important to push the temperature from <math>T_o</math> far enough to avoid random transitions due to temperature fluctuations. With a <math>\Delta T</math> value of <math>20^\circ </math>, <math>33 Mpa</math> would need to be applied.
<p>
</p>
The amount of stress needed to be added to the induce a phase transition is very temperature dependent. An issue is that there is a disontinuity in the length during the phase transition. We want to spread out the transformation. A way to do this is to compositionally grade the material. The composition affects <math>T_o</math>, and this shift can be calculated. Write the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and the differential form of Gibbs free energy for this system. The temperature shift can be calculated from a known chemical potential.
<center>
<br>
<math> \frac
= \pm \frac
</math>
<br>
</center>
The transformation first occurs where there is a higher <math>T_o</math>.

What is the heat effect?
<center>
<br>
<math>H=U+PV</math>
<br>
<math>dH=dU+pdV+VdP</math>
<br>
<math>dU = \delta Q - pdV + Fdl</math>
<br>
<math>(dH)_p = (\delta Q)_p + Fdl</math>
</center>
<br>
There is an extra work term in the free energy differential. The change in enthalpy at constant pressure is not just due to heat flow. Perform a Legendre transform
.
<center>
<br>
<math>H=U+PV-Fl</math>
<br>
<math>dH=\delta Q + VdP -ldF</math>
<br>
<math>(dH)_
= (\delta Q)_
</math>
</center>
<br>
Below is the generalized enthalpy. It is the free energy minus all the work terms.
<center>
<br>
<math>H=U-\sum_
Y_i X_i</math>
<br>
<math>(dH)_
= (\delta Q)_
</math>
</center>
<br>
An error in calculations can result from using the enthalpy for heat reaction when subjected to non-PdV work. The full heat release is not the standard enthalpy. The error can be large when doing electrochemistry.

Magnetically induced transition
<p>
</p>
Consider an example of transition between a ferromagnetic
state and a paramagnetic
state. Can there be a shift in transition with the application of a magnetic field? Yes, anytime there are phases that differ in extensive quantities, essentially implying a first order phase transition, there can be a shift by applying intensive variable. Look at the differentials and Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
<center>
<br>
<math>dU=TdS+HdM</math>
<br>
<math>dG=-SdT+...-MdH</math>
<br>
<math>\frac
= -\frac

How large or small is the change in transition per atom due to magnetization? How large is <math>\Delta M</math>? Consider a few aligned electron spins. A large estimate of <math>\Delta M</math> is a few Bohr magnetons
per atom. Yet <math>\Delta M</math> is still small in energetic terms. Use the Boltzmann constant
, <math>k_B</math>, for the <math>\Delta S</math> term. This is the atomic version of <math>R</math>. The result of the calculation is that there is a change in the transition temperature of 0.66 K per applied Tesla
. A giant field is required to shift temperature. In this case the effect of magnetism on the transition temperature is small, and the only hope for getting in a reasonable region is if there is a small heat effect in the transition, which corresponds to a small value of <math>\Delta S</math>.

Example: <math>(La, Ca)MnO_3</math>
<p>
</p>
Consider an example of an <math>ABO_3</math> material. In the case of <math>(La, Ca)MnO_3</math>, the amount of <math>Mn^
</math> and <math>Mn^
</math> ions can be controlled by varying the amount of <math>La</math> and <math>Ca</math>, which are of charge <math>3+</math> and <math>2+</math>, respectively. Look at the electrical and magnetic phase diagram.

Ferromagnetic materials are better conductors than anti-ferromagnetic
. Electrons are able to hop between atoms and preserve spin. Paramagnetic materials are not as bad conductors as anti-ferromagnetic. This is due to Hund's Rule
.

Imagine one is at a point above the transition temperature in the phase diagram. The material is in the paramagnetic field, and it is possible to be in the magnetized phase by applying a field and shifting the transition temperature. Conductivity increases by four orders of magnitude, and this effect is termed the Giant Magnetoresistive Effect (GMR)
. There is not much changing intrinsically and is complicated in reality; there is a percolation issue. IBM discovered a bigger change and termed it the Colossal Magnetoresistance Effect (CMR)
.

Remember that there are different extensive properties that result from applying a field
