Introduction to phase transitions and critical phenomena
Material type:
TextPublication details: Oxford, U.K.: Oxford University Press, c1971ISBN: 9780195053166Summary: The book is at the level at which a graduate student who has studied condensed matter physics can begin to comprehend the nature of phase transitions, which involve the transformation of one state of matter into another. (A simple example is the melting of a solid to become a liquid.) Such a transformation is termed 'critical' when, after a certain amount of the substance changes phase, the entire bulk virtually instantaneously also makes the transition.
