Summary
Unveiling Phase Transitions: A Journey Through States of Matter
This accessible text introduces the theory of phase transitions and its application to real materials. Assuming some familiarity with thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, the book begins with a primer on the thermodynamics of equilibrium phase transitions, including the mean-field and Ginzburg-Landau approaches.
The general kinetic features and dynamics of phase transitions are explained, ensuring that read…
