What are the interface conditions to determine if a crystallized phase will be stable or metastable?

Let's say I have a material with a stable phase A that transitions to another stable phase B at temperature T. If the material also has a metastable phase A', I know that if I cool B fast enough...

Is there a difference between Absolute values of constant volume and constant pressure entropy in liquids?

In thermodynamic tables of liquids, S is usually given without mention of constant volume or constant pressure. In solids this makes sense because Cv ~ Cp, so S should be the same. In liquids, Cp...

How to nucleate the stable phase in a solid-solid transition?

I have a binary system of polyalcohols. When I cool the mixture down past it's solid-solid transition point, it usually forms a metastable phase. We know this because upon reheating promptly after...
