In this course, thermodynamic aspects of condensed phases (solid and liquid phases) are introduced and discussed by means of the Gibbs free energy, then, crystal structures of solids and their defects, lattice vibrations, i.e., so called quantum phonon excitations, and diffusions of atoms will be discussed in order to understand the physical and chemical properties of solid crystals. Finally, thermodynamic description of the phase transitions will be given in terms of the mean field theory.

By learning atmospheric diabatic processes such as atmospheric radiation, latent heat release and viscosity, physical understanding of elemental processes of climate formation will be obtained.

In this course, the basis of the inorganic chemistry, e.g., periodic table and the mechanism of the formation of elements (atoms), is explained from the quantum mechanical point of view. Especially, the electronic states of transition metals including their magnetic properties are reviewed from the aspect of the quantum mechanics of electronic spin and orbital momenta and the magnetic moments. The latter part is allocated for effective nuclear charge, electronegativity, theory of chemical bond, etc.
