Take a look at this one:

NONEQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS OF SURFACES By D . BEDEAUX is an excellent reference (freely avilable)

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics BY S.R. de Groot, P. Mazur, 

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND NON-EQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS: Physica 82A (1976) 438-462

Hope this help

Have a look to Callen : "Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics." (available everywhere). The best way to understand thermodynamics in few days.

R. Defay, I. Prigogine and A. Bellemans (1966) ' Surface Tension and Adsorption' John Wiley&Sons, New York.  It is an excellent book, which gives the critical review of  the complete spectrum of the theoretical models for the surfaces and interfaces but staying in the domain of reversible thermodynamics.  Plus its doesn' t  touch the treatment of surfaces of interfaces associated with deformed solids.

I think the first  rigorous treatment of  the irreversible thermodynamics and kinetics of surfaces and interfaces  in deformed solids using the layer model of van der Waals and Baker was  presented in our following three comprehensive papers as admitted all  of the referees who  reviewed them during their publication stages. 

Interfacial Phenomena in Metals and Alloys by Lawrence E. Morr  is very good text book with applications 

Good answers here. If you can, also check "Molecular Theory of Surface Tension in Liquids", by Syu Ono and Sohei Kondo:

Yes !  Callen's book  is excellent book written for physicists. For surfaces and interfaces, I recommend every body including me to read the Sections: 1.51-1.62 on surfaces and interfaces 'Thermodynamics'   An Advanced Treatment for Chemist and Physicists  by E.A. Guggenheim (1959).  

Hi.

An excellentvplace to start is Arthur Adamson  "Physical Chemistry of Surfaces"

Good luck!

Excellent books are:

(a) J. S. Rowlinson and B. Widom, "Molecular Theory of Capillarity"

(b) H. Ted  Davis, "Statistical Mechanics of Phases, Interfaces, and Thin Films"

Electrochemistry/Modern Electrochemistry by J O' M Bockris and A K N Reddy gives in the most elementary fashion the subject you are trying to understand/learn. Chs 4 and 7 in the older versions deal with surface phenomena. 

The best short introductory test on thermodynamics is Physical Chemistry, by G.W. Castellen. Excellent treatment still today , though the last edition is over 30 years old!!

Such texts are:

(1) H. Ted Davis "Statistical Mechanics of Phases, Interfaces, and Thin Films"

(2) J. S. Rowlinson, B. Widom "Molecular Theory of Capillarity"

(3) R. Evans "Advances in Physics Vol. 28, 143-200 (1979)"

'Modern Electrochemistry' by JOM Bockris And AKN Reddy is an excellent book from which one can learn thermodynamics of interfaces.

If you wish to know the historical development of thermodynamics of surfaces and interfaces I would recommend to go over the book entitled ''Surface Tension and Adsorption'' by Defay, R, Prigogine, ı and Belleman.  ''Thermodynamics 'Advanced Text' by Guggenheim 4th editrion

If you have good  back ground in  the  mathematical analysis  and the classical chemical thermodynamics then you should go through the two following papers.

Best Luck

The following book has short but concise introduction to interface thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics of Solids by Richard A. Swalin.
