Phase diagram

A phase diagram in physical chemistry, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of graph used to show the equilibrium conditions between the thermodynamically-distinct phases. In mathematics and physics, a phase diagram also has an alternative meaning, as a synonym for a phase space.
