Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include:structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.)geophysical phase transitionsmetal-insulator phase transitionssuperconducting and superfluid transitionsmagnetic phase transitionscritical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitionsliquid crystalstechnological applications of phase transitionsquantum phase transitions

相變是唯一一本專門研究這一重要課題的期刊。它為有關(guān)凝聚態(tài)相變的大多數(shù)方面的論文提供了一個(gè)重點(diǎn)。雖然重點(diǎn)主要放在實(shí)驗(yàn)工作上，但如果理論論文對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果有一定影響，則是受歡迎的。感興趣的領(lǐng)域包括:在一系列外部參數(shù)(溫度、壓力、應(yīng)變、電場(chǎng)/磁場(chǎng)等)作用下的結(jié)構(gòu)相變(鐵電相變、鐵彈性相變、多鐵相變、有序無(wú)序相變、簡(jiǎn)-特勒相變等)地球物理相變金屬絕緣體相變超導(dǎo)和超流體躍遷磁相變相變的臨界現(xiàn)象和物理性質(zhì)液晶相變的技術(shù)應(yīng)用量子相變
