Phase transformation thermodynamics in solids containing an excess (nonequilibrium) number of lattice defects is considered. It is shown that under definite conditions (fast heating, pressure increase) the defect relaxation leads to the decrease of thermodynamic parameters (temperature, pressure) in the instant of phase transformation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
