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

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

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