- Description
- We present a Hamiltonian treatment of the Landau theory of phase transitions. In this formulation we are based on the analogy between the order parameter space and the ordinary coordinate space of a particle moving in two dimensions. As an application, we consider the ferroelectric smectic liquid crystals.
