Description
A Primer to the Theory of Critical Phenomena provides scientists in academia and industry, as well as graduate students in physics, chemistry, and geochemistry with the scientific fundamentals of critical phenomena and phase transitions. The book helps readers broaden their understanding of a field that has developed tremendously over the last forty years. The book also makes a great resource for graduate level instructors at universities.- Provides a thorough and accessible treatment of the fundamentals of critical phenomena- Offers an in-depth exposition on renormalization and field theory techniques- Includes experimental observations of critical effects- Includes live examples illustrating the applications of the theoretical material
