Effective Field Approach To Phase Transitions And Some Applications To Ferroelectrics (2nd Edition) - Gonzalo, Julio A (Univ San Pablo-ceu De Madrid, Spain a Univ Autonoma De Madrid, Spain)

Begins by introducing the effective field approach, the simplest approach to phase transitions. This book provides an intuitive approximation to the physics of diverse phenomena such as liquid-vapor transitions, ferromagnetism, superconductivity, order-disorder in alloys, ferroelectricity, superfluidity and ferroelasticity.
