Application of Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics to Solid-State Phenomena
Steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT) is a mathematical and theoretical framework for intrinsic quantum thermodynamics (IQT), a unified theory of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. In the theoretical framework, entropy is viewed as a measure of energy load sharing among …

Prediction of Microstructural and Conformational Evolutions through Application of Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics
Steepest Entropy Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics (SEAQT) is a novel theoretical framework unifying quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. This framework employs an equation of motion governed by the principle of steepest entropy ascent to determine the thermodynamic state evolution of modeled systems. …

Thermodynamic Based Framework for Determining Sustainable Electric Infrastructures as well as Modeling of Decoherence in Quantum Composite Systems
In this dissertation, applications of thermodynamics at the macroscopic and quantum levels of description are developed. Within the macroscopic level, an upper-level Sustainability Assessment Framework (SAF) is proposed for evaluating the sustainable and resilient synthesis/design and operation of …

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamic Approach Based on the Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Framework Applicable across All Temporal and Spatial Scales
… and spatial scales is developed based on steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT). The SEAQT framework provides an equation of motion consisting of both reversible mechanical dynamics and irreversible relaxation dynamics, which is able to describe the evolution of any state …
