On tensor phase transitions

  • 1. Russian Academy of Sciences, Kapitsa Institute for Physical Problems (Russian Federation)

Description

Within the Landau theory, phase diagrams are obtained for second-order phase transitions with order parameter in the form of a symmetric traceless tensor of rank at most six that is transformed in accordance with a one-dimensional representation of a crystal group. The case of two-dimensional representation is analyzed for rank equal to three
