  • Phase Transitions in Polymers: The Role of Metastable States

    by Stephen Z.D. Cheng ...
    A classical metastable state possesses a local free energy minimum at infinite sizes, but not a global one. This concept is phase size independent. We have studied a number of experimental results and proposed a new concept that there exists a wide range of metastable states in polymers on different length scales where their metastability is critically determined by the phase size and ...
