This book deals with the phenomenological theory of first-order
structural phase transitions, with a special emphasis on
reconstructive transformations in which a group-subgroup
relationship between the symmetries of the phases is absent. It
starts with a unified presentation of the current approach to
first-order phase transitions, using the more recent results of the
Landau theory of phase transitions and of the theory of
singularities. A general theory of reconstructive phase transitions
is then formulated, in which the structures surrounding a
transition are expressed in terms of density-waves, providing a
natural definition of the transition order-parameters, and a
description of the corresponding phase diagrams and relevant
physical properties. The applicability of the theory is illustrated
by a large number of concrete examples pertaining to the various
classes of reconstructive transitions: allotropic transformations
of the elements, displacive and order-disorder transformations in
metals, alloys and related structures, crystal-quasicrystal
transformations.
