Phase Transitions Microscopic Model
  The microscopic model in which nodes interacting with each other are statistical systems is introduced. The nodes conditions are connected with a string of distinct microscopic configurations and depend on external parameters (pressure and temperature). In this model the consequent description of first- and second-order phase transitions is carried out and their microscopic level distinctions are analyzed. It is shown that first-order transitions occur when the configuration entropy change at nodes under transitions from dipole-active (low-symmetric) state to symmetric one is more than ln4. Otherwise the second-order transitions take place.
