1. phase transition

   A phase transition is a physical change of state in matter, from one phase (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) to another. It usually occurs due to changes in temperature or pressure, causing changes in the organization and energy of particles within the material. This can include changes such as melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, deposition, ionization, or recombination. Phase transitions are classified as first order (which involve a latent heat and occur at a specific temperature) or second order (which do not involve latent heat and occur over a range of temperatures).

1. Phase transition

   A phase transition is the transformation of thermodynamic system from one phase or state of matter to another. A phase of a thermodynamic system and the states of matter have uniform physical properties. During a phase transition of a given medium certain properties of the medium change, often discontinuously, as a result of some external condition, such as temperature, pressure, and others. For example, a liquid may become gas upon heating to the boiling point, resulting in an abrupt change in volume. The measurement of the external conditions at which the transformation occurs is termed the phase transition. Phase transitions are common occurrences observed in nature and many engineering techniques exploit certain types of phase transition. The term is most commonly used to describe transitions between solid, liquid and gaseous states of matter, and, in rare cases, plasma.

Examples of phase transition in a Sentence

1. Antti Lignell:

   The PAHs stuck together and were expelled from the ice host as it crystallized, this may be the first observation of molecules clustering together due to a phase transition of ice, and this certainly has many important consequences for the chemistry and physics of ice.
