Fully Consistent Finite-Strain Landau Theory for High-Pressure Phase Transitions

Landau theory (LT) is an indispensable cornerstone in the thermodynamic description of phase transitions. As with structural transitions, most applications require one to consistently take into account the role of strain. If temperature drives the transition, the relevant strains are, as a rule, sma...
