Abstract The kinetics of the first-order solid-state structural transition in monodisperse n-alkanes samples of tricosane C23H48 and tetracosane C24H50 was studied by DSC and FTIR spectroscopy. The initial nuclei location of the new phase was revealed. The process of crystal structure rearrangement is initiated in the interlayers between neighboring lamellar for odd tricosane, while the nanonuclei in even tetracosane arise in the crystalline lamella cores. Thus, the influence of the number evenness of carbon atoms in the n-alkanes chains on the first-order structural phase transition has been proved.

Abstract The kinetics of the first-order solid-state structural transition in monodisperse n-alkanes samples of even tetracosane C24H50 was studied by FTIR spectroscopy. The existence of many irregular conformers in solid phases of tetracosane, the concentration of which reaches a maximum when approaching the melting temperature, has been demonstrated. The existence of these defective molecules promotes transitions between different rotator phases in the solid state.

An algorithm was developed for the simulation of a phase transition in solid state whichmakes it possible to obtain the kinetic curves of transformation under different initialconditions (the number and arrangement of new phase nuclei, the distance betweenthe nearest nuclei). The simulation results were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation and the corresponding coefficients were determined.The correlation between the simulation results and the experimental kinetics of theaustenite isothermal transformation in alloyed steels was shown.

Elastic properties are important mechanical properties which are dependent on the structure, and the coupling of ferroelasticity with ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism is vital for the development of multiferroic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The elastic properties and energy loss related to the disorder–order ferroelectric transition in [NH4][Mg(HCOO)3] and [(CH3)2NH2][Mg(HCOO)3] were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The DSC curves of [NH4][Mg(HCOO)3] and [(CH3)2NH2][Mg(HCOO)3] exhibited anomalies near 256 K and 264 K, respectively. The DMA results illustrated the minimum in the storage modulus and normalized storage modulus, and the maximum in the loss modulus, normalized loss modulus and loss factor near the ferroelectric transition temperatures of 256 K and 264 K, respectively. Much narrower peaks of loss modulus, normalized loss modulus and loss factor were observed in [(CH3)2NH2][Mg(HCOO)3] with the peak temperature independent of frequency, and the peak height was smaller at a higher frequency, indicating the features of first-order transition. Elastic anomalies and energy loss in [NH4][Mg(HCOO)3] near 256 K are due to the second-order paraelectric to ferroelectric phase transition triggered by the disorder–order transition of the ammonium cations and their displacement within the framework channels, accompanied by the structural phase transition from the non-polar hexagonal P6322 to polar hexagonal P63. Elastic anomalies and energy loss in [(CH3)2NH2][Mg(HCOO)3] near 264 K are due to the first-order paraelectric to ferroelectric phase transitions triggered by the disorder–order transitions of alkylammonium cations located in the framework cavities, accompanied by the structural phase transition from rhombohedral R3¯c to monoclinic Cc. The elastic anomalies in [NH4][Mg(HCOO)3] and [(CH3)2NH2][Mg(HCOO)3] showed strong coupling of ferroelasticity with ferroelectricity.

We report an organic–ionic material that undergoes a first-order structural phase transition, induced by order–disorder of oxygen atoms in picrate anion. This strategy offers a potential pathway to explore new switchable dielectric materials.

Theoretically, with the aid of a soliton model, the evolution of a new-phase nucleus near the first-order spin-reorientation phase transition in magnets has been investigated in an external magnetic field. The influence of an external field and one-dimensional defects of magnetic anisotropy on the dynamics of such nucleus has been demonstrated. The conditions for the localization of the new-phase nucleus in the region of the magnetic anisotropy defect and for its escape from the defect have been determined. The values of the critical fields which bring about the sample magnetization reversal have been identified and estimated.

AbstractThe crystal structure of [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2ZnBr4 (1) has been determined at 150(2) K: triclinic, P1̅, a=724.82(2), b=1194.20(4), c=1322.26(4) pm, α=74.151(3), β=80.887(3), γ=80.434(3)°, and Z=2. There are two crystallographically independent cations in the unit cell of 1: one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the crystallographic a axis of the unit cell and the other one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the c axis. These cations are alternatingly located along the c axis and form organic layers, and the ZnBr4 anions form inorganic layers in between. Zn–Br···H–N hydrogen bonds are formed between cations and anions. In accordance with the crystal structure, four nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) lines of 81Br were observed. The temperature dependence of the 81Br NQR frequencies between 77 and 320 K shows a peculiar feature which is not due to a structural phase transition. The measurement of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at around T=340 K indicates a redistribution of cations. The temperature dependence of 81Br NQR frequencies and differential thermal analysis measurements show that [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2CdBr4 (2) undergoes a structural phase transition at around 190 K.

We reproduce, quantitatively, the observed dependence with temperature and O 2 partial pressure of the ordering of oxygen and the concommitant structural transition in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−y by means of a layered oxygen lattice gas model in equilibrium with an external source of O 2. The free energy considers, in addition to Cu -mediated oxygen-oxygen interactions, the elastic energy of the crystal. Depending on the coupling between these two terms the transition may turn into 1st order and further ordering along the Cu-O chains may appear for low oxygen content.

The paper presents the transmission spectra of hybrid perovskite MAPbI3 single crystals near the fundamental absorption edge in a wide temperature range. The absorption coefficient α of the single crystal samples is estimated at a temperature T = 150 K for the light with a photon energy E = 1.6 eV and at T = 40 K for E = 1.8 eV. The obtained values turned out to be several orders of magnitude smaller than the values of α for thin-film samples known from the literature. A sharp shift of the fundamental absorption edge by ~ 100 meV was observed at a temperature T1 = 160 K of the structural phase transition from the tetragonal to the orthorhombic phase. The temperature hysteresis of the shift of the fundamental absorption edge near T1 was recorded, which is characteristic of a first-order phase transition.

Ultrasonic velocity measurements could be performed on a good quality single crystal of [Formula: see text] around its transition around 80 K. The behavior of the stiffness components demonstrates a first-order transition. The temperature dependence of the longitudinal elastic stiffness components [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be analyzed by the classical Landau theory and assuming a stricter coupling between the strain and the order parameter. A theoretical approach and experimental results are discussed.
