Phase transitions in which crystalline solids undergo structural changes present an interesting problem in the interplay between the crystal structure and the o

Structural Phase Transitions II, like its predecessor (Topics in Current Physics, Vol. 23), presents selected methods and recent advances in the experimental in

The structural phase transition is one of the most fundamental problems in solid state physics. Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides provide us with a most

This book deals with the phenomenological theory of first-order structural phase transitions, with a special emphasis on reconstructive transformations in which
