The predictions of catastrophe theory for phase transitions involving more than one order parameter are given. These predictions are compared with those of other theories. For the simplest transition involving two order parameters it is found that there is a parameter which does not affect the topol

Fundamental aspects of structural phase transitions are discussed in view of XAFS measurements of the local structure below and above To. The experimental results show that the local structure and the order parameter have very different temperature dependencies. In particular, while the order parame
Order+disorder structural phase transitions in alkali perchlorates MClO 4 (M β«Ψβ¬ Na, K, Rb, Cs) are investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. The potentials in the simulations are based on the Gordon+Kim modi5ed electron gas formalism extended to molecular ions. The simulations yield 5rst-or
It is explicitly shown that, contrary to the common assertion, phase transitions driven by two bilinearly coupled order parameters can be continuous, i.e., irreducibility of the representation involved is not necessary for the phase transition to be of second order in the Landau sense.
