Various physical properties of alkali carboxylates can be used to study precursor effects immediately below or above their melting points. The present paper describes unusual pre-transition behaviour observed in the magnetic susceptibility of molten n -butyrates and isovalerates. This takes the form of a transitory enhancement of diamagnetic susceptibility, by nearly 10% in some cases, when the isotropic melt is cooled through the clearing point and into the mesophase region while a magnetic field (up to 1 T(10 4 G)) is applied. No corresponding changes are observed on taking the salt through the same temperature range but in the inverse direction. Again, no corresponding change is observed with an alkali carboxylate which shows no mesophase melting transition. Present findings can be accounted for on the assumption of cluster formation in the molten salts as these approach their upper melting points, which is also indicated by other evidence. The (transient) enhancement of molecular diamagnetism in this region of temperature may also indicate transient perturbations in the actual cation-anion binding near the transition temperature.

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are molten salts with melting points at or below room temperature. RTILs have recently been recognized as novel lubricants. Only a few have previously been evaluated.

A recently developed plane source method for non-steady-state measurements of the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of transparent liquids is now being applied to the study of molten salts. In these first measurements sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate have been investigated from their melting points to about 450°C. No temperature dependence of the thermal diffusivity can be established for either of the liquids, whereas the thermal conductivity in both cases increases very slowly with the temperature.A description of the experimental arrangement is included.

The hypersonic velocity of molten sodium and potassium chlorides has been measured over a temperature range of about 100°C above the melting points. The measurements were carried out at scattering angles 90° and 140°, cor­responding to a 6-10 GHz frequency range. No deviation from previous ultrasonic values of velocity was observed at these frequencies, indicating that the measurements were performed at frequencies lower than any relaxation fre­quency.

<p>Here we investigate for the first time the opto-thermal behavior of SiO<sub>2</sub>/Si core/shell microbeads (Si-rex) irradiated with three common Raman laser sources (lambda=532, 633, 785 nm) under real working conditions. We obtained an experimental proof of the critical role played by bead size and aggregation in heat and light management, demonstrating that in the case of strong opto-thermal coupling the temperature can exceed that of the melting points of both core and shell components. In addition, we also show that weakly coupled beads can be utilized as stable substrates for plasmon-free SERS experiments.</p>
