Structure transition in Cu crystallization

Abstract

Phase transition is a central topic in condensed matter physics. In this paper, as a general representative of phase transition, Cu crystallization is discussed. And some physical quantities are defined to quantificationally describe the structure- property in Cu crystallization, especially its symmetry. As a conclusion, it is indicated that there are some significant alterations of structure-property in Cu crystallization. And not only that its global symmetry has a breaking, but also the local symmetry becomes not uniform anymore.
