Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the critical properties of the two systems are the same, and therefore the phase transition from smectic A to nematic will always be at least weakly first order.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a second order antiferrodistortive tetragonal to monoclinic phase transition at 97.7°C was found for 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the magneto-stark effect and electronic transport properties on GaSe have been studied and it has been shown that GaSe has nearly isotropic electronic states at the forbidden gap and the valence band anisotropy is anomalous.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the results of Mossbauer measurements on disordered b.c. and Fe-Co alloys are presented and it is shown that in these alloys the frequently used phenomenological expression H Fe = a μ Fe + b μ gives a very poor description because of the tendency of short-range ordering.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependence of the spectrum of two trapped hole centers introduced by electron irradiation in ZnO was investigated and the results established the identification of these centers as being two slightly inequivalent configurations of the zinc vacancy in its negative charge state.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the positron diffusion constant, mobility and other diffusion related quantities in simple metals were investigated and the mobility was found to be largely limited by positron-phonon interaction which is treated in the deformation potential model.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The anomalous apparent conductivities can be explained in terms of the strong temperature dependence of the electrical anisotropy which is found, through measurements on several samples, to peak near 70 K.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In a variety of amorphous materials, the far infrared and microwave absorption (3-3000 GHz or 0.1-100 cm−1) is orders of magnitude greater than that observed in corresponding crystalline materials as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the pyrochlore structure of Cd 2 Os 2 O 7 (Cd2O 7) has been shown to have a cubic cell edge of 10.17 A at room temperature.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the major contribution to the high uniaxial anisotropy of the compound SmCo5 arises from the action of crystalline and exchange fields on the Sm3+ ion.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: By neutron elastic and quasi-elastic scattering from K2CoF4, sublattice magnetization and spin correlations were examined quantitatively as mentioned in this paper, and the obtained critical exponents β, ν, γ, and η coincide precisely with those from Onsager's exact solution for the two-dimensional Ising model.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a single crystal of pure chromium below the Neel point was observed by X-ray diffraction at positions apart by 2 δ from the Bragg points, and it was shown that the lattice spacing in the direction of the wave vector of the spin density wave are modulated periodically and the period is a half of that of the SDW.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Very accurate experimental measurements on silicon are used to calculate the valence density and the bonding deformation density in the silicon crystal as mentioned in this paper, which shows good agreement for the height, but an appreciable discrepancy for the shape of the bond maximum.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it was suggested that conduction in localized states at the band edge of an amorphous semiconductor occurs by variable-range hopping, and that the hopping length is typically ten times larger than the average interatomic separation and increases with decreasing temperature.
