Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions J. M. Yeomans
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA

It deals with highly correlated systems near a critical point, so to say that it works only for problems with no correlations is incorrect. The model is shown to possess an ordered phase at low temperatures and a continuous transition to the high temperature disordered phase at any q ≥ 1. It has led to a number of surprising results in the application of thermodynamic concepts to small systems, with many contributions by workers in statistical mechanics.

Statistical mechanics of the travelling salesman on the Sierpinski gasket. These universal features of Arctic melt pond evolution are similar to phase transitions in statistical physics.

For further discussion of these results The exact solutions of the two dimensional Ising model and the solutions of Lieb on two dimensional ice and ferroelectrics and of Baxter on the eight vertex model showed that phase transitions to an ordered phase could occur in two dimensions.
