Publisher's Synopsis
This book is one of a series of journals which deals exclusively with phase transitions in condensed matter. Emphasis is placed mainly on experimental work, but theoretical papers which have some bearing on experimental results are also presented. Areas of interest include structural (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, high-pressure, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, martensitic, etc), geophysical, metal-insulator superconducting and superfluid, and magnetic phase transitions, critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions including liquid crystals, and technological applications of phase transitions. Major review papers are also presented, and "Phase Transitions" publishes two sections: section A for research papers, and section B for invited articles devoted to special topics. This particular volume deals with structural phase transitions in crystals.
