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. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x1616-6361 ;$v1016 606 $aSolid state physics 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aSolids 606 $aMathematics 606 $aElectronic Devices 606 $aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems 606 $aMaterials Science 606 $aSolid Mechanics 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aSolid state physics. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 0$aSolids. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aElectronic Devices. 615 24$aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems. 615 24$aMaterials Science. 615 24$aSolid Mechanics. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a530.474 700 $aUmantsev$b Alexander$01059282 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996538660803316 996 $aField Theoretic Method in Phase Transformations$92505008 997 $aUNISA
