Preferred Label : nth order phase transition;
IUPAC definition : A transition in which the molar Gibbs energy (or chemical potential) and its (n -
1)th-order derivatives are continuous, whereas the nth-order derivatives with respect
to temperature and pressure are discontinuous at the transition point.;
