The Physics of Phase Transitions Concepts and Applications

The Physics of Phase Transitions Concepts and Applications / by Pierre Papon, Jacques Leblond, Paul H.E. Meijer.

The physics of phase transitions is an important area at the crossroads of several fields that play central roles in materials sciences. In this second edition, new developments had been included which came up in the states of matter physics, in particular in the domain of nanomaterials and atomic B...
