Synopsis:

The class is devoted to the description of multiphase systems by the phase-field method base on the theory of dynamic critical phenomena and on the Cahn -Hilliard theory for single-component and multi-comopnent systém in dynamics of continua. This method allows for description of material systems in very small scales where the 1-st order and 2-nd order phase changes can occur.
