It is shown that the formation of the so-called rotator phase of alkanes (one of the high temperature crystalline phases) might be connected with a partial increase of the conformational flexibility of chains. The conformations with higher number of kinks per chain, which have been neglected till now, are shown to contribute effectively to the conformational partition function. Small probability of these states given by the Boltzmann exponent is compensated by a large number of ways in which they can be distributed along the chain. The deduced features of the rotator phase seem to be in agreement with the experimentally observed properties.

Betts and Ditzian have recently published the first 11 coefficients of the exact high-temperature series for the specific heat of the spin 1/2 Ising model on a crystobalite lattice. In this paper the exact coefficients for the next 8 terms are derived by making use of an approximate transformation between the Ising partition function of the crystobalite and diamond lattices. The series is analyzed by using the ratio and Padé approximant methods, but a reliable estimate for α has not been obtained.
