Abstract
Various critical phenomena and critical points appearing in many-particle systems under the variation of external conditions (fields), including the temperature, pressure, and magnetic and electric fields are described. Laws of statistical physics are universal for any particular nature of particles and the considered phenomena can be observed in systems of macroparticles (colloids), atoms, molecules, and subnuclear particles (nucleons and quarks).
