It has received significant attention in the materials science community recently due to many successes in solving or illuminating important problems. This book will address fundamentals of the method starting from the classical theories of phase transitions, the most important theoretical and computational results, and some of the most advanced recent applications. Field Theoretic Method in Phase Transformations can be used as an introduction for those new to the field or as a guide for a seasoned researcher. It is also of interest to researchers interested in the history of physics.Lecture notes in physics ;840.Phase transformations (Statistical physics)Field theory (Physics)Continuum mechanicsPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Field theory (Physics)Continuum mechanics.530.474Umantsev Alexander1059282MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910133754103321Field Theoretic Method in Phase Transformations2505008UNINA
