First order phase transitions and the thermodynamic limit

First order phase transitions and the thermodynamic limit

We consider simple mean field continuum models for first order liquid–liquid demixing and solid–liquid phase transitions and show how the Maxwell construction at phase coexistence emerges on going from finite-size closed systems to the thermodynamic limit. The theories considered are the Cahn–Hillia...
