Phase Transformations in Solids

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Solid State Chemistry

Abstract

The transformation of one polymorph to another constitutes an important aspect of phase transformations in solids. Phase transformations in many solids are accompanied by interesting changes in electrical, magnetic, dielectric and thermal properties in addition to changes in the crystal structure of the material. The subject of phase transformations in solids is of interest to workers in a number of disciplines dealing with solid materials and some aspects of interest to chemists have been reviewed by Ubbelohde1, Rao and Rao2 and Smoluchowski3. A brief account of various types of crystal structure transformations will be presented in this chapter.
