Statistical physics

a description of continuous phase transitions in which free energy is expanded in powers of an order parameter consistent with the system's symmetry.

In statistical physics, Landau theory of phase transitions refers to a description of continuous phase transitions in which free energy is expanded in powers of an order parameter consistent with the system's symmetry. This meaning comes from Landau (1936) in Nature.[1]
