متن کاملLandau, Lifshitz, and weak Lifshitz conditions in the Landau theory of phase transitions in solids.
Landau theory provides a group-theoretical method for determining which symmetry changes can occur in second-order phase transitions in solids. The irreducible representations of the space group of the higher-symmetry phase must satisfy certain conditions. For transitions to commensurate crystalline structures, the Landau and Lifshitz conditions must be satisfied. For transitions to incommensur...
متن کامل2 Phase Transitions in Quantum Field Theory
In this lecture at a school for condensed matter physicist, I begin with basic concepts and tools for investigating phase transitions in quantum field theory. The very different roles of global and gauge symmetries in phase transitions will be elucidated. Among the important applications of the basic theory the thermodynamics of the electroweak transition is treated in detail, and the implicati...
متن کاملOn Landau Theory and Symmetric Energy Landscapes for Phase Transitions
The aim of this presentation is the development of a general approach for modelling the global complex energy landscapes of phase transitions. For the sake of clarity and brevity the exposition is restricted to martensitic phase transition (i.e., diffusionless phase transitions in crystalline solids). The methods, however, are more broadly applicable. Explicit energy functions are derived for t...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Field Theory and Phase Transitions *
We review different aspects of field theory at zero and finite temperature, related to the theory of phase transitions. We discuss different renormalization conditions for the effective potential at zero temperature, emphasizing in particular the MS renormalization scheme. Finite temperature field theory is discussed in the real and imaginary time formalisms, showing their equivalence in simple...
