Macroscopic Order Parameters

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 38))

Abstract

Every phase transition in the crystal is accompanied by the appearance at the phase transition point T c of a whole set of physical quantities that are absent in the initial phase. These quantities may be divided into two major groups: microscopic and macroscopic parameters. Examples of microscopic parameters are atomic displacements or atomic spins arising at the phase transition point T c , and also variations of the probability of finding an atom of a given species on a given site. It is these quantities that were treated in the previous chapters.
