Structural phase transitions in perovskite compounds based on diatomic or multiatomic bridges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the recent advances on the thermally-induced structural phase transitions of the perovskite compounds based on the diatomic or multiatomic bridges, focusing on the important role of the components in the phase transition behaviours as well as the intrinsic switching behaviours of physical properties.

Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices
Max Born,Kʿun Huang +1 more
TL;DR: Born and Huang's classic work on the dynamics of crystal lattices was published over thirty years ago, and it remains the definitive treatment of the subject as mentioned in this paper. But it is not the most complete work on crystal lattice dynamics.

Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena
H. Eugene Stanley,Guenter Ahlers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a paperback edition of a distinguished book, originally published by Clarendon Press in 1971, which is at the level at which a graduate student who has studied condensed matter physics can begin to comprehend the nature of phase transitions, which involve the transformation of one state of matter into another.
