Phase transition dynamics is centrally important to condensed
matter physics. This 2002 book treats a wide variety of topics
systematically by constructing time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau
models for various systems in physics, metallurgy and polymer
science. Beginning with a summary of advanced
statistical-mechanical theories including the renormalization group
theory, the book reviews dynamical theories, and covers the
kinetics of phase ordering, spinodal decomposition and nucleation
in depth. The phase transition dynamics of real systems are
discussed, treating interdisciplinary problems in a unified manner.
Topics include supercritical fluid dynamics, stress-diffusion
coupling in polymers and mesoscopic dynamics at structural phase
transitions in solids. Theoretical and experimental approaches to
shear flow problems in fluids are reviewed. Phase Transition
Dynamics provides a comprehensive account, building on the
statistical mechanics of phase transitions covered in many
introductory textbooks. It will be essential reading for
researchers and advanced graduate students in physics, chemistry,
metallurgy and polymer science.
