Introduces the Potts model, a generalization of the Ising model used in statistical mechanics to study phase transitions.
Introduces block spin renormalization and scaling variables in the Ising model, focusing on RG fixed points and critical exponents.
Explores induction, Maxwell's equations, magnetic materials, electromagnetism, and hysteresis cycles in ferromagnets.
Covers the basic concepts of exchange interaction in magnetic materials, including discrimination between different magnetic materials and critical temperatures.
Explores phase transitions in two-dimensional systems and the critical behavior near transition points.
Explores phase transitions, critical points, opalescence, and metastability in substances.
