Abstract:We propose to re-express Nernst law in terms of a suitable information measure (IM) parameter. This is achieved by dwelling on the idea of adapting the notion of purity in the case of a thermal Gibbs environment, yielding what we might call the “purity” indicator (which we denote by the symbol D in the text). We find it interesting to define an extension of this D−IM indicator in a classical context. This generalization turns out to have useful conceptual consequences when used in conjunction with the classica… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
