Metastable stateNarrower topic: Many metastable states occur when a phase transition is delayed.
Phase-change memoryNarrower topic: The memory element stores information through a solid-to-solid structural transition.

Fluorite structureRelated: Temperature, pressure, or composition can shift fluorite-related compounds into other phases.
Mantle transition zoneNarrower topic: The zone is defined chiefly by pressure-induced solid-state phase transitions.
SuperconductorRelated: The superconducting state emerges through a transition at a characteristic temperature.
Complex systemRelated: Complex systems can shift abruptly from one collective regime to another.
Liquid waterNarrower topic: Melting and boiling mark the boundaries of liquid water’s stable phase.
Low-temperature physicsNarrower topic: Many defining low-temperature phenomena are phases separated by transitions.

ThermochemistryRelated: Physical transformations also exchange heat, often without changing chemical identity.
Intensive and extensive propertiesRelated: Transitions are often identified by singular behavior in intensive properties or thermodynamic potentials.
AllotropeRelated: Some allotrope changes accompany a change in crystal phase while the element remains solid.
Edge of chaosRelated: The edge-of-chaos idea borrows the image of a boundary between regimes.
History of thermodynamicsRelated: Thermodynamics provided a framework for classifying phase changes and their critical behavior.
Thermodynamic free energyRelated: At equilibrium, competing phases have equal relevant thermodynamic potentials.
Chemical phenomenaBroader topic: It can look dramatic while leaving the substance’s chemical identity intact.
Disordered systemsRelated: Disorder can shift, broaden, or alter the universality of transitions.
Fractional freezingNarrower topic: Fractional freezing uses the liquid-to-solid transition to partition mixture components.
Hopkinson effectNarrower topic: The underlying loss of magnetic order is a temperature-driven phase transition.
Kopp's lawCompared with: Near transitions, heat capacity can change sharply, defeating a fixed sum based on elemental composition.
Macroscopic scaleRelated: Large-scale collective changes can produce sharp macroscopic differences between phases.
Physical phenomenaBroader topic: It shows how gradual changes in conditions can produce abrupt macroscopic effects.
Trouton's ruleNarrower topic: Vaporization is the phase transition whose entropy change the rule compares.
Yang Chen-NingRelated: Yang’s statistical-mechanics results helped connect phase transitions with mathematical properties of partition functions.
