Abstract

We review several aspects of the dynamics of first-order phase transitions in functional materials. In particular, we focus on recent models of the athermal evolution in driven ferromagnets that provide a global picture of metastability and hysteresis, and show that first-order phase transitions in these systems proceed by avalanches. Within this theoretical framework, we discuss recent experiments on acoustic emission avalanches in structural phase transitions.
