Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The author's experimental discoveries in the field of solid-state phase transitions have brought about exhaustive explanation of this phenomenon, including the puzzling nature of "lambda-anomalies." These phase transitions are found always to be a nucleation and crystal growth in a solid medium, while "second (or higher) order" phase transitions are a misconception: they do not exist. Ramifications of this new understanding are substantial. In this book, the reader will find the first unified account for fundamentals of the three great areas of solid-state physics - phase transitions, ferromagnetism, and ferroelectricity, free of the inconsistencies of the conventional theories.
