Overview

The physics of phase transitions is an important area at the crossroads of several fields that play central roles in materials sciences. This work deals with broad classes of phase transitions in fluids and solids. It contains chapters on evaporation, melting, solidification, magnetic transitions, critical phenomena, superconductivity, etc., and is intended for graduate students in physics and engineering; for scientists it will serve both as an introduction and an overview. End-of-chapter problems and complete answers are included.

From the reviews: &nbsp; <p>Pierre Papon and his co-authors succeed in covering a much wider range of transitions than I have ever seen in one book before ??? Overall, we have here a treatment of strikingly wide perspective, and many readers who may not be motivated to work right through the book will find individual chapters interesting and instructive. I defy anyone who is interested in phase transformations not to learn something from this book. Nature
