Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book brings together the proceedings of a groundbreaking conference on the behavior of substances at critical points, a state where distinct phases like liquid and gas become indistinguishable. The conference, held in Washington, D.C. in 1965, gathered scientists from diverse fields, including physics, chemistry, and biology, to discuss this critical phenomenon. The book's main focus is on the latest theoretical and experimental research on equilibrium critical phenomena, with particular emphasis on fluid systems, magnetic systems, and order-disorder transitions in solids. The author provides a historical perspective on the development of critical phenomena research, tracing its roots to the work of van der Waals and others in the 19th century. The book also explores the relationship between critical phenomena and other areas of physics, such as statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. The author delves into the theoretical underpinnings of critical phenomena, examining concepts like scaling laws, universality, and critical exponents. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of these insights, providing a deeper understanding of the behavior of matter at critical points and its implications for various scientific fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
