- Gibbs free energyThe difference between the enthalpy of a system and the product of its entropy and absolute temperature: a measure of the useful work obtainable from a thermodynamic system at constant temperature and pressure.
- Gibbs algorithmA criterion for choosing a probability distribution for the statistical ensemble of microstates of a thermodynamic system by minimizing the average log probability ⟨ ln p_i⟩=∑ᵢp_i ln p_i,, subject to the probability distribution pᵢ …
- Gibbs-Helmholtz equationAn equation for calculating changes in the Gibbs free energy of a system as a function of temperature: ((∂(G/T))/(∂T))ₚ=-H/(T²), where H is the enthalpy, T the absolute temperature and G the Gibbs free energy of the system, all at constant …
- Gibbs measureA generalization of the canonical ensemble to infinite systems, giving the probability of a given system being in a given state (or, equivalently, of a given random variable having a given value).
- Gibbs samplingA Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for obtaining a sequence of observations which are approximated from a specified multivariate probability distribution, when direct sampling is difficult.
- Gibbs stateAn equilibrium probability distribution which remains invariant under future evolution of the system.
- Gibbs-Thomson effectThe variations in vapor pressure or chemical potential across a curved surface or interface.
- Gibbs-Thomson equationAn equation for the structural depression in the freezing point or melting point in a confined geometry, in its compact form: Δ,T_m(x)=(k_GT)/x, where the Gibbs–Thomson coefficient k_GT assumes different values for different liquids and …
