Abstract
A brief review of orientational phase transitions and thermodynamic properties of various magnets. These methodological guidelines are intended for students studying the section "Theory of Phase Transitions" in the course "Theory of Solids", as well as the section "Magnetic Phase Transitions" in the course "Theory of Magnetism". They can be used in preparation for laboratory and seminar classes in these courses, and for independent research work by students of the Faculty of Physics.
Keywords:
