Phase Transitions and Order Parameters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The usefulness of the concept of an order parameter in describing phase transitions is discussed. Examples of order parameters are given in the context of broken symmetries, and defects in the order parameters are classified in terms of these symmetries.
