Abstract.The lattice expansion of α-bis-(N-methylsalicylaldiminato)copper(II) powder was measured by X-rays with the focussing Guinier method from 90 – 320 K. The orthorhombic-monoclinic phase transition is of first order and its transition temperature is 237 ± 2 K.

The critical behavior of the specific heat is studied in s-triazine ( C 3 N 3 H 3). Using the experimental data for the CP, the temperature dependence of the specific heat is analyzed according to a power-law formula and the values of the critical exponent for CP are extracted in the vicinity of the transition temperature (TC=198.07 K ). It is indicated that s-triazine undergoes a weakly first order (quasi-continuous) or second order phase transition.

We briefly review the recent theoretical understanding of the first order phase transition undergone by gels with an emphasis on physical concepts, deliberately excluding details of modeling and analytic methods. The density of a gel changes discontinuously at the transition point. A variety of features of the transition result from the basic fact that the inhomogeneity of the density of the gel inevitably causes shear deformation. This deformation, on the one hand, reflects the geometry of the sample and, on the other hand, may alter the transition temperature.

The proposed Pseudo-First-Order Phase Transition in a ferroelectric nanoparticle occurs at a temperature lower than its paraelectric/ferroelectric transition Curie temperature and is associated with an ultrahigh electrocaloric effect.

Crystals of the cristobalite polymorph of AlPO4 (phosphocristobalite) up to 3 mm in breadth were grown from a V2O5 flux. In the α phase (C2221), the presence of twin domains prevents an accurate resolution of the structure as a function of temperature. The six twin components of this phase readily lead to a disordered β phase [Formula: see text] with short range correlations as suggested previously. The α–β transformation is first order with a substantial hysteresis in the transition temperature.

We investigated the structure transition and the electrocaloric effect in PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT) with x=0.7, 0.8 and 0.9. The results show that 50 MV/m can make the structural transition be a continuous one. When x=0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 at the zero field, the first order structural transition occurs at T0=685, 687, and 698 K, respectively. Upon a strong electric field, the first order structural transition comes to the second one, which leads to lower the change of specific heat. The structural transition temperature is shifted at high temperature with increasing electric field. The maximum electrocaloric effect is present occurs at about 200 K above the corresponding Curie temperature. With increasing composition of Ti, the electrocaloric effect is enlarged, together with increasing structure transition temperatures.
