5. Phase Transitions
5. Phase Transitions A phase transition is an abrupt, discontinuous change in the properties of a system. We’ve already seen one example of a phase transition in our discussion of Bose-Einstein condensation. In that case, we had to look fairly closely to see the discontinuity: it was lurking in the derivative of the heat capacity.

Electromagnetism - DAMTP
www.damtp.cam.ac.ukAt the atomic scale, electromagnetism (admittedly in conjunction with some basic quantum e ects) governs the interactions between atoms and molecules. It is the force that underlies the periodic table of elements, giving rise to all of chemistry and, through this, much of biology. It is the force which binds atoms together into solids and liquids.
