Phase transitions are ubiquitous in condensed-matter systems,and the investigation of their kinetics is known to be challenging,[ 1–4 ] but the signifi cant discoveries, such as superconductive phase transitions, [ 5 ] ferroelectric and antiferroelectric phase transitions, [ 6 ] amorphous and crystalline transitions, [ 7 ] insulator–metal transitions (IMT), [ 8–13 ] etc., have produced a …
