Abstract The temperature dependence of 35Cl NQR frequencies in 4,4´-dichlorobenzophenone was measured between 9.3 and 372 K by the pulse Fourier-transform method. Successive phase transitions were observed at 189 and 194 K. Concerning these phase transitions, the curious thermal hysteresis phenomenon found in a previous NQR experiment was not reproduced in the present study. It also follow s that NQR indicates another phase transition around 220 K, although no thermal anomaly was detected there by DTA. Tentative explanations for these three phase transitions are presented in relation to the incommensurability between 189 and 220 K. In addition, a novel phase transition was found to occur at 331 K according to both DTA and 35Cl NQR. A single NQR line observed at room temperature splits into two components above 331 K, suggesting that the symmetry above 331 K is lower than that at room temperature. This is the behavior of re-entrant phase transition, and it reveals the quasi-continuous nature.

Solute Interactions

H–O bond energy governs the PCx for Na/H2O liquid–VI–VII phase transition. Solute concentration affects the path of phase transitions differently with the solute type. Solute–solute interaction lessens the PC2 sensitivity to compression. The PC1 goes along the liquid–VI boundary till the triple phase joint.

Piezoelectric and dielectric properties of (LixNa1-x)NbO3 (LNN100x; x≤0.14) ceramics were investigated according to phase transition The highest electromechanical coupling factor, kp, of 0.247 was obtained for LNN12 which has a composition with a morphotropic phase boundary at room temperature. On the other hand, the coupling factor of k33 with longitudinal mode was almost constant for all compositions of x. The dielectric constant, ε r, before poling treatment exhibited a thermal hysteresis near the Curie temperature, TC, for all compositions. The depolarization temperature of LNN6 was higher than the TC before poling treatment. In addition, the peak of free permittivity, ε33 T, was shifted to higher temperature. It was considered that the phase transition was induced by the electric field during poling treatment.

Polycrystalline sample of lead-free 1/3( Ba 0.70 Sr 0.30 TiO 3) + 1/3( Ba 0.70 Ca 0.30 TiO 3) + 1/3( BaZr 0.20 Ti 0.80 O 3)( BST - BCT - BZT ) ceramic was synthesized by solid state reaction method. Phase purity and crystal structure of as-synthesized materials was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity studies demonstrated frequency-independent behavior, indicating that the studied sample has typical diffuse phase transition behavior with partial thermal hysteresis. A ferroelectric phase transition between cubic and tetragonal phase was noticed near room temperature (~ 330 K). Bulk P–E hysteresis loop showed a saturation polarization of 20.4 μC/cm2 and a coercive field of ~ 12.78 kV/cm at a maximum electric field of ~ 115 kV/cm. High dielectric constant (ε ~ 5773), low dielectric loss (tan δ ~ 0.03) were recorded at room temperature. Discharge energy density of 0.44 J/cm3 and charge energy density of 1.40 J/cm3 were calculated from nonlinear ferroelectric hysteresis loop at maximum electric field. Dielectric constant at variable temperatures and electric fields, ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition and energy storage properties were thoroughly discussed.

We investigate electric and magnetic properties of quasi-one-dimensional transition-metal carbides Sc3TC4 (T = Co, Ru, and Os), and their mixed crystals Sc3(Co1-xRux)C4 and Sc3(Ru1-xOsx)C4. Sc3CoC4 exhibits successive phase transitions of charge-density-wave transition at TCDW ~ 140 K, Peierls-like structural transition at Ts ~ 70 K, and superconducting transition at Tc ~ 5 K. Sc3RuC4 and Sc3OsC4 exhibit a phase transition at T* ~ 220 K and 250 K, respectively, which should occur in the low-dimensional electronic structure. For Sc3CoC4, it is revealed by the investigation of the electric and magnetic properties of Sc3(Co1-xRux)C4 that the phase transitions at TCDW, Ts, and Tc exhibit different robustness against Ru doping. For Sc3RuC4 and Sc3OsC4, it is revealed by the investigation of the electric and magnetic properties of Sc3(Ru1-xOsx)C4 that an identical kind of phase transition occurs at T*. Additionally, the present study reveals that the phase transition at T* in Sc3RuC4 and Sc3OsC4 is inherently different from the phase transitions at TCDW, Ts, and Tc in Sc3CoC4.

Abstract Both lower and upper critical solution temperature (LCST and UCST) systems are two typical phase behaviors of thermoresponsive materials with solvents, in which LCST is far less common than UCST. Recent studies on ionic liquids carrying LCST phase transitions have predominantly focused on quaternary ammonium- and phosphonium-based ionic salts. Based on the 1,2,3-triazole core structure assemblable by azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction, this work reports the combinatorial synthesis of 1,3,4-trialkylated 1,2,3-triazolium ionic liquids in three libraries with a total of 160 ionic liquids and demonstrates, for the first time, their values in temperature-switchable phase transition with water. In this work, the successful discovery of a new thermoresponsive ionic liquid b26, based on the structure-and-phase separation study of b8 and b9, perfectly exemplified the true value of the tunability of ionic liquid fine structures. For all 160 ionic liquids synthesized, 155 are liquid at room temperature and 22 room-temperature ionic liquids were found to exhibit thermoresponsive phase transitions having low Tc values in water. To the best of our knowledge, this comprehensive study is the first report of small-molecule 1,2,3-triazolium ionic liquids that exhibit LCST property in water.

Na3O(NO2) and Na3OBr are isostructural and form solid solutions with a miscibility gap χ = 0.28 to 0.62 as referred to Na3OBrx(NO2)1-x, at room temperature. Above 593 Κ formation of mixed crystals was observed for all compositions. In contrast to pure Na3O(NO2), the solid solutions do not undergo any phase transition in the investigated temperature range from 293 Κ to 130 K. These findings reveal that collective interactions between the dynamically disordered NO2--groups are involved in the phase transitions of Na3NO3.

Tuning the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) in microwave dielectrics has been attributed to two main mechanisms: (i) dilution of the average ionic polarizability; (ii) the onset of an octahedral tilt transition above room temperature. The contributions of each mechanism have been isolated using ceramics in the Srn+1TinO3n+1, SrxCa1−x)3Ti2O7, and (SrxCa1−x)TiO3 series. In the Srn+1TinO3n+1 series, relative permittivity (εr) and τf are linearly proportional over a broad range of values, 100–37 and 800–140 ppm/°C, n = 4 and 1, respectively. No structural phase transitions occur on cooling from the prototype symmetry, and the mechanism of tuning is attributed solely to dilution of the average ionic polarizability as the SrO:SrTiO3 ratio increases. Exchanging Ca for Sr in the (SrxCa1−x)3Ti2O7 series resulted in an 80% reduction in the magnitude of τf from +320 to +50 ppm/°C but only 21% in permittivity (58 to 46). The effect was nonlinear and attributed primarily to the onset of a phase transition involving rotations of the octahedra on cooling. Superlattice reflections associated with the octahedral tilt transition have been identified.

This work reports reversible, single-crystal-to-single-crystal phase transitions of commensurately modulated sodium saccharinate 1.875-hydrate [Na(sac)(15/8)H2O]. The phases were studied in the temperature range 298 to 20 K. They exhibit complex disordered states. An unusual reentrant disorder has been discovered upon cooling through a phase transition at 120 K. The disordered region involves three sodium cations, four water molecules and one saccharinate anion. At room temperature, the structure is an eightfold superstructure that can be described by the superspace group C2/c(0σ20)s0 with q = (0, 3/4, 0). It demonstrates maximum disorder with the disordered chemical entities having slightly different but close to 0.50:0.50 disorder component ratios. Upon cooling, the crystal tends to an ordered state, smoothly reaching a unified disorder component ratio of around 0.90:0.10 for each of the entities. Between 130 and 120 K a phase transition occurs involving a sudden increase of the disorder towards the disorder component ratio 0.65:0.35. Meanwhile, the space group and general organization of the structure are retained. Between 60 and 40 K there is another phase transition leading to a twinned triclinic phase. After heating the crystal back to room temperature its structure is the same as before cooling, indicating a complete reversibility of the phase transitions.

Martensitic Phase Transition

Martensitic transformations are the first-order crystal-to-crystal phase transitions that occur mostly in materials such as steel, alloys and ceramics, thus having many technological applications. These phase transitions are rarely observed in molecular crystals and have not been detected in protein crystals. Reversibly switchable fluorescent proteins are widely used in biotechnology, including super-resolution molecular imaging, and hold promise as candidate biomaterials for future high-tech applications. Here, we report on a reversibly switchable fluorescent protein, Tetdron, whose crystals undergo a photo-induced martensitic transformation at room temperature. Room-temperature X-ray crystallography demonstrates that at equilibrium Tetdron chromophores are all in the trans configuration, with an ∼1:1 mixture of their protonated and deprotonated forms. Irradiation of a Tetdron crystal with 400 nm light induces a martensitic transformation, which results in Tetdron tetramerization at room temperature revealed by X-ray photocrystallography. Crystal and solution spectroscopic measurements provide evidence that the photo-induced martensitic phase transition is coupled with the chromophore deprotonation, but no trans–cis isomerization is detected in the structure of an irradiated crystal. It is hypothesized that protein dynamics assists in the light-induced proton transfer from the chromophore to the bulk solvent and in the ensuing martensitic phase transition. The unique properties of Tetdron may be useful in developing novel biomaterials for optogenetics, data storage and nanotechnology.
