The World Famous Poetry of Thermodynamics Website

• OOF and PPM2OOF, Software for calculating properties from complex microstructures,
• (HTML) Paper on Anisotropic Surfaces and Thermodynamics, that isn't read by enough people in my opinion and here is a pdf of same.
• Paper on Use of Surface Evolver in Materials Science, that is generally hard to find
• Recent paper on calculation of evolution in faceted crystals
