Abstract

The thermodynamics of a crystal is developed on the basis of the Vlasov equation. From this equation a system of equations is derived for the Fourier coefficients of the density. The internal energy and stress tensor are found. It is shown that the results obtained satisfy the second law of thermodynamics and the entropy is calculated.
