The Effect of Strain on Thermodynamics of the Weakly First-Order Phase Transition
M. A. Fradkin
Elastic matrix distortion around a growing inclusion of a new phase is analyzed and the associated contribution to the Gibbs free energy is considered. The constant-composition tra…

On thermoelastic phenomena around orientational ordering transition in crystalline C60
M. A. Fradkin
Thermoelastic phenomena associated with orientational phase transition in solid C60 are considered. Coupling of the order parameter with elastic strain is analyzed in the Landau th…

Volume Effect in the Landau Theory of Martensitic Phase Transitions in Cubic Crystals
M. A. Fradkin
An effect of the volume change upon proper ferroelastic (martensitic) phase transitions in cubic crystals is considered. Corresponding terms in the Ginzburg-Landau expansion of the…
