{"product_id":"reconstructive-phase-transitions-vladimir-dmitriev-9789810223649","title":"Reconstructive Phase Transitions: In Crystals and Quasicrystals","description":"This book deals with the phenomenological theory of first-order structural phase transitions, with a special emphasis on reconstructive transformations in which a group-subgroup relationship between the symmetries of the phases is absent. It starts with a unified presentation of the current approach to first-order phase transitions, using the more recent results of the Landau theory of phase transitions and of the theory of singularities. A general theory of reconstructive phase transitions is then formulated, in which the structures surrounding a transition are expressed in terms of density-waves, providing a natural definition of the transition order-parameters, and a description of the corresponding phase diagrams and relevant physical properties. The applicability of the theory is illustrated by a large number of concrete examples pertaining to the various classes of reconstructive transitions: allotropic transformations of the elements, displacive and order-disorder transformations in metals, alloys and related structures, crystal-quasicrystal transformations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vladimir Dmitriev,Pierre Toledano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810223641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810223649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.30w x 1.05d","brand":"Vladimir Dmitriev","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448075956479,"sku":"9789810223649","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1795bcea-64b7-431c-b728-cb8177735994.jpg?v=1777236731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconstructive-phase-transitions-vladimir-dmitriev-9789810223649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
