Phases of Matter and their Transitions An all-in-one, comprehensive take on matter and its phase properties In Phases of Matter and their Transitions, accomplis

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

A clear, concise and rigorous textbook covering phase transitions in the context of advances in electronic structure and statistical mechanics.

Describing the physical properties of quantum materials near critical points with long-range many-body quantum entanglement, this book introduces readers to the
