The physics of phase transitions is an important area at the crossroads of several fields that play central roles in materials sciences. In this second edition, new developments had been included which came up in the states of matter physics, in particular in the domain of nanomaterials and atomic B

This text provides a thoroughly modern graduate-level introduction to the theory of critical behavior. Beginning with a brief review of phase transitions in simple systems and of mean field theory, the text then goes on to introduce the core ideas of the renormalization group. Following chapters cov
The nature and origins of renormalization group ideas in statistical physics and condensed matter theory are recounted informally, emphasizing those features of prime importance in these areas of science in contradistinction to quantum field theory, in particular: critical exponents and scaling, rel
