In second order transitions, you can get big fluctuations in the order of the system near the transition. Understanding these fluctuations ("critical phenomena") was a major achievement of late 20th century theoretical physics. Publisher: Westview Press Page Count: 408.

This is my understanding of the situation, as explained for example in "Lectures on Phase Transitions and the Renormalization Group", by N. 1989 CUP Statistical field theory, vol.

If you think about it, phase transitions are a mysterious and mystifying thing. Most of us are familiar with the three primary of phases matter: solid, liquid and gas. There is also a discussion in "Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions", by J. Language: English Released: 1992. Forster; Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena, by H.
