The field theoretic method for the study of phase transformations in material systems, also known as the phase-field method, allows one to analyze different stages of transformations within a unified framework. It has received significant attention in the materials science community due to many recent successes in solving or illuminating important problems. In a single volume, this book addresses the fundamentals of the method starting from the basics of the field theoretic method along with its most important theoretical and computational results and some of the most advanced recent results and applications. Now in a revised and expanded second edition, the text is updated throughout and includes material on the classical theory of phase transformations. This book serves as both a primer in the area of phase transformations for those new to the field and as a guide for the more seasoned researcher. It is also of interest to historians of physics.Lecture Notes in Physics,1616-6361 ;1016Solid state physicsCondensed matterMaterials scienceMechanics, AppliedSolidsMathematicsElectronic DevicesPhase Transitions and Multiphase SystemsMaterials ScienceSolid MechanicsApplications of MathematicsSolid state physics.Condensed matter.Materials science.Mechanics, Applied.Solids.Mathematics.Electronic Devices.Phase Transitions and Multiphase Systems.Materials Science.Solid Mechanics.Applications of Mathematics.530.474Umantsev Alexander1059282MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910731476003321Field Theoretic Method in Phase Transformations2505008UNINA
