Now, in Physical Review Letters, Ashivni Shekhawat at Cornell In this case, it has been shown that fracture of a disordered three-dimensional solid can be viewed as a dynamic phase transition: the crack front “depins” itself from the disorder [3]. Although system size and disorder are linked in a statistical physics description of fracture, the two parameters have typically been treated separately. Thermodynamics – Laws of thermodynamics, Heat engines, Entropy, Thermodynamic potentials, Phase transitions. Much of condensed matter and statistical physics is concerned with the explanation of phase transitions between different forms of matter. Critical phenomena are what happens near a phase transition in statistical mechanics (stat mech is thermodynamics' sophisticated sibling). Kadanoff's work in the theory of phase transitions in statistical physics, for example, led to a better understanding of the conversion of water to ice or water to water vapor. Statistical mechanics – Classical statistics, Fermi-Dirac and Bose – Einstein statistics. Interacting particle systems, nonequilibrium phase transitions, hydrodynamic limits. These universal features of Arctic melt pond evolution are similar to phase transitions in statistical physics. Applied probability theory, mathematical statistical mechanics. ISRN Condensed Matter Physics The second class of work is the phase transitions which demand the Landau expansion of the free energy in the order parameter [3, 8, 11].
