Abstract
The minimal dissymmetry effect, which manifests itself within Curie’s principle, is a consequence of the limiting principles of thermodynamics: the second law for a closed system and the entropy-production minimum for an open system. Also being a limiting principle, the minimal dissymmetry effect makes it possible to introduce a quantitative characteristic of dissymmetry into classical Curie’s principle. It is shown that the dissymmetry of a dynamic form of growth and dissolution of natural diamond crystals is due to the complex effect of several factors of different scales and strengths.
