Ferromagnetic state and phase transitions
Yuri Mnyukh
Evidence is summarized attesting that the standard exchange field theory of ferromagnetism by Heisenberg has not been successful. It is replaced by the crystal field and a simple a…
Phase transitions in layered crystals
Yuri Mnyukh
It is demonstrated by analyzing real examples that phase transitions in layered crystals occur like all other solid-state phase transitions by nucleation and crystal growth, but ha…
Lambda- and Schottky-anomalies in solid-state phase transitions
Yuri Mnyukh
The origin of lambda and Schottky anomalies in solid-state phase transitions are analyzed and illustrated. They are shown to be the latent heat of nucleation-and-growth phase trans…
Hysteresis and nucleation in condensed matter
Yuri Mnyukh
The physical origin of hysteresis in condensed matter had not been previously identified. The current "science of hysteresis" is useful, but limited by phenomenological modeling. T…
Second-order phase transitions, L. Landau and his successors
Y. Mnyukh
There are only two ways for solid-state phase transitions to be compliant with thermodynamics: emerging of infinitesimal quantity of the new phase, or infinitesimal "qualitative" c…
The physics of magnetization
Y. Mnyukh
Experimental observations recently reported in Nature are in accord with the concept that spin orientation is a permanent feature of the spin carrier. It follows that magnetization…
