27critical point — this generally refers to a temperature at which some chemical or physical change takes place. These transformations cause evolution of heat on cooling or absorption of heat on heating and appear as discontinuities or arrest points in the heating… …
28Quantum critical point — A quantum critical point is a special class of continuous phase transition that takes place at the absolute zero of temperature, typically in a material where the phase transition temperature has been driven to zero by the application of a… …
29Critical exponent — Critical exponents describe the behaviour of physical quantities near continuous phase transitions. It is believed, though not proven, that they are universal, i.e. they do not depend on the details of the physical system, but only on the… …
30Critical opalescence — is a phenomenon which arises in the region of a continuous, or second order, phase transition. Originally reported by Thomas Andrews in 1869 for the liquid gas transition in carbon dioxide, many other examples have been discovered since. The… …
