Abstract
This chapter deals with the thermodynamics of the surface properties of a phase and their applications to a variety of problems of interest in the Earth and Planetary sciences. The topics include adsorption and adsorption mediated chemical reactions of gaseous species on mineral surfaces, crack propagation, equilibrium shapes of crystals, connectivity of melt in a solid matrix, nucleation and crystal growth, microstructures of metals in meteorites, coarsening of exsolution lamellae as a function of time and temperature, effect of particle size on solubility, subsolidus stability and melting of solids along with the implication of the latter to fault movements.
