This book provides a comprehensive review of the theory of phase transitions and its modern applications, based on the five pillars of the modern theory of phase transitions: the Ising model, mean field, scaling, renormalization group and universality. This expanded second edition includes, along with a description of vortices and high temperature superconductivity, a discussion of phase transitions in chemical reactions and moving systems. The book covers the close connection between phase transitions and small world phenomena as well as scale-free systems such as the stock market and the Internet.

Contents:
  • Phases and Phase Transitions
  • Thermodynamics of Phase Transitions
  • The Ising Model
  • Mean Field Theory
  • Scaling
  • The Renormalization Group
  • Phase Transitions in Quantum Systems
  • Universality
  • Phase Transitions in Reactive Systems
  • Phase Transitions in Moving Systems
  • Random and Small World Systems
  • Self-Organized Criticality

Readership: Scientists working in different fields of physics, chemistry, biology and economics as well as teaching material for undergraduate and graduate courses.
