Abstract:Using a simple microscopic model, the kinetic equations of the orientational ordering phase transition are established and the general characters of the kinetic behavior of the first-order and the second-order phase transitions are obtained. The results about the equilibrium state obtained as a special case agree completely with those obtained from the phenomenological theories of the first-order and the second-order phase transitions. The different behavior of these two kinds of phase transitions is explained… Show more
