We report an experimental study of low-frequency internal friction (LTIF) in solid oxygen at temperatures of 7–52 K. Comparison of the temperature dependence of the IF with data on x-ray diffraction and other thermodynamic and elastic properties shows that the anomalies in the temperature dependence of the internal friction arise from phase transitions in solid oxygen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
