The dynamics near first- and second-order phase transitions in a two-dimensional lattice-gas model are compared using the first-order reversal curve (FORC) method. The FORC diagram of a first-order transition is characterized by a negative region separating two positive regions, reflecting a competition between the time-varying electrochemical potential and the tendency of the system to phase order.
