A phase transition occurs at points on the phase diagram where the Helmholtz energy function is a singular function of the thermodynamic variables within it [1]. The following is (an incomplete) list of phase transitions. The change from one state to another is usually monitored by some sort of order parameter.
- 1-dimensional phase transitions
- Disordered hyperuniform phase
- First-order transitions
- Gardner phase transition
- Gas-liquid phase transitions
- Glass transition
- Isotropic-nematic phase transition
- Jamming transition
- Kosterlitz-Thouless transition
- Landau theory of second-order phase transitions
- Liquid-liquid phase transitions
- Martensitic phase transitions
- Nematic-smectic phase transition
- Nonequilibrium phase transitions
- Order-disorder transitions
- Quantum phase transitions
- Second-order transitions
- Solid-liquid phase transitions
- Topological phase transitions
- Vapour-liquid phase transitions
Other transitions
