We consider the effect of the faults-defects (FD) field on the following quantum phenomena: (i) the motion of a particle expressed by the Green function; (ii) thermodynamic phenomena expressed by the partition function. We use the path integral formulation based on the extended deformation gradient (EDG) tensor. This formulation connects the Green function of (i) with the partition function of (ii) to describe the thermodynamics in terms of a quantum particle motion. We obtain the following results: (a) The Lagrangian in the Green function includes the new potential consisting of stress functions that shift the path of the free particle from the shortest distance; (b) The solution of the partition function in one-dimensional space makes it possible to deduce the thermodynamic relations in the FD field. Such results could not be obtained by taking the traditional mechanical and quantum approaches, so the path integral formulation based on the EDG tensor is a useful tool.
