
The more familiar transitions we are familiar with like liquid water into solid water happen at constant temperature.

However, other types of phase transitions we are less familiar in our daily lives happen across a continuum of such "state variables", notably:
  • superfluidity and its related manifestation, superconductivity
  • ferromagnetism

 Tagged

  • Curie temperature
