Abstract
NEW EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES have been joined by novel theoretical approaches to give great impetus to the study of phase transitions. The systems studied include vapors near their critical points, ferromagnets near their Curie temperatures, antiferromagnets near their Néel points and the superfluid transitions. All these phase transitions, although apparently very different, show surprising similarities in their behavior near the critical point.Keywords
