Temperature phase transitions with

Graph the above data in the form Cp,m/T against T2 to test the validity of the Debye low-temperature heat capacity relationship [equation (4.4)] and find a value for the constant in the equation, (b) The heat capacity study also revealed that quinoline undergoes equilibrium phase transitions, with enthalpies as follows ... 

For solid nitrogen five modifications are known that differ in the packing of the N2 molecules. Two of them are stable at normal pressure (transition temperature 35.6 K) the others exists only under high pressure. At pressures around 100 GPa a phase transition with a marked hysteresis takes place, resulting in a non-molecular modification. It presumably corresponds to the a-arsenic type. Electrical conductivity sets in at 140 GPa. 

Even when complete miscibility is possible in the solid state, ordered structures will be favored at suitable compositions if the atoms have different sizes. For example copper atoms are smaller than gold atoms (radii 127.8 and 144.2 pm) copper and gold form mixed crystals of any composition, but ordered alloys are formed with the compositions AuCu and AuCu3 (Fig. 15.1). The degree of order is temperature dependent with increasing temperatures the order decreases continuously. Therefore, there is no phase transition with a well-defined transition temperature. This can be seen in the temperature dependence of the specific heat (Fig. 15.2). Because of the form of the curve, this kind of order-disorder transformation is also called a A type transformation it is observed in many solid-state transformations. 

A shortcoming is the instability against external conditions, in particular temperature. To induce a phase transition with a minimum amount of photochemical change, the molecular aggregate system... 

With increasing temperature, phase transitions occur, including ciystalline to smectic C to smectic A to nematic to isotropic, or crystalline to nematic to isotropic. These examples demonstrate that not all possible transitions neeessarily oceur. Depending on the number of mesophases occurring, thermotropic mono-, di-, tri-, or tetramorphism may be distinguished. 

The temperature dependence of the FE and glassy volume fractions was determined for the four different compositions mentioned above (Fig. 10). Whereas D-RADP-0.20 exhibits a quasi-continuous sequence of local PE-FE phase transitions with a coexistence range of about 20 K and a pure FE phase state throughout the whole crystal below 135 K [17], in D-RADP-0.25 part of the crystal remains in the PE or glass state, respectively, down to very low temperatures. This is also observed in D-RADP-0.30, while in D-RADP-0.35 (not shown) no FE polarization could be observed at all. 

The NMR results presented in Sect. 2 allow for D-RADP-x (with x = 0.20,0.25, 0.30), in fact for no other interpretation than a multitude of local first order phase transitions with a probabihty distribution of transition temperatures. We beheve therefore that we deal with a nucleation mechanism. To illustrate this possibihty we have to make some assumptions ... 

It has now become apparent that f-band superconductors can be understood in a normal way, like d-band ones" we have just to think about density of states, bandwidth lattice unstabilities and electron correlations to interpret it. This was clearly summarized by Smith after the discovery of superconductivity of Pa and Am. Superconductivity of Am is made by the J = 0 ground state of its six 5 f electrons as was stressed by Johansson , this could also be the case for stabilized trivalent europium metal. The importance of lattice instabilities (like in A-15 high Tc superconductors) was put forward by Fournier who showed that the very large 6T/8p slope for U was mainly due to a very targe change in the electron-phonon coupling associated with the low temperature phase transition.

Recently, polyphilic compounds have been reported, where an Rp-chain and a carbosilane chain were attached at opposite sides of a terphenyl or oligo (p-phenylene ethinylene) core [42], Compound 188 with the longest oligo (p-phenylene ethinylene) core shows two hexagonal columnar phases separated by a thermoreversible continuous (second order) phase transition with critical behavior upon approaching the transition temperature. Based on XRD data it was... 

It has been claimed that metal salts of dinitramides inhibit the low-temperature phase transition in AN that occurs at 32°C. This transition is a mayor obstacle to using AN as oxidant in propellants. At present, KNO3, CuO or NiO is used. In contrast to these substances, dinitramides increase the energy level of the stabilized AN. The use of dinitramides also results in a higher burn rate and lower pressure coefficient than non-stabilized AN or AN stabilized with the currently available stabilizers [24]. 

Stratum corneum lipids and lanolin share an important physical characteristic in that they can coexist as solids and liquids at physiological temperatures.33 A differential scanning calorimetry thermogram of lanolin is similar to that of stratum corneum lipids, showing two broad (heterogenous) phase transitions with midpoint melting temperatures at 21.9 and 38.3°C.16 The lower temperature peak may represent the transition from a liquid crystal to a gel phase, which has also been described for lanolin alcohols.34...
