The underlying physical mechanism of crystallization is a phase transition at which the static long-range periodic order characteristic of crystals emerges — rigidity plays no role and is ...

Phase transitions and critical phenomena are the changes of a system from one regime or state to another exhibiting very different properties, and the unusual effects that occur on the boundary ...
