Preferred Label : higher-order transition;
IUPAC definition : A general term used to describe a transition in which the first and second derivatives
of the molar Gibbs energy or molar Helmholtz energy (or chemical potential) with respect
to temperature and pressure are continuous, but derivatives of some higher order are
discontinuous at the transition point. Synonymous with smooth transition.;
