Predictive theories of phenomena involving phase change with applications in engineering are investigated in this volume, e.g. solid-liquid phase change, volume
The book is mainly devoted to the thermomechanical behavior of materials during solid-solid phase transformations. The physical mechanisms including diffusion,
The Physics of Phase Transitions occupies an important place at the crossroads of several fields central to materials sciences. This second edition incorporates
Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system--have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes
An engaging undergraduate introduction to the statistical mechanics of phase transitions Statistical mechanics deploys a powerful set of mathematical approaches
