Explores nucleation, growth, Ostwald ripening, LaPlace pressure, Kelvin equation, phase equilibrium, size dependence of phase transitions, critical micelle concentration, self-assembly, temperature dependence of nucleation rate, heterogeneous nucleation, and melting point depression.
Covers the basic concepts of exchange interaction in magnetic materials, including discrimination between different magnetic materials and critical temperatures.
Delves into magnetic ordering in materials, covering neglected spin interactions, Curie temperature, Neel temperature, and the Heisenberg Hamiltonian.
Explores renormalization, scaling, critical points, exponents, and phase transitions in conformal field theory and quantum gravity.
Explores phase transitions in the Ising model, mean magnetization, susceptibility, critical exponents, and the universality of critical exponents.
Introduces the properties and interactions of liquid crystals, covering birefringence, defects, disclinations, and chiral phases.
