| Feb 11, 2018 at 12:03 | comment | added | Bert Barrois | Loosely speaking, phase transitions are marked by discontinuities in mechanical or thermodynamic properties (or their higher derivatives) when T or P is varied. Now how to define phase? | |
| Feb 11, 2018 at 11:28 | comment | added | Strata771 | That's a frequent misconception, for example diamond ad graphite are two solid phases of carbon. | |
