Combined effect of dopant and electron beam-irradiation on phase transition in lithium potassium sulphate

Calculation of a Temperature–Concentration Phase Diagram of Mixed LiK1-xRbxSO4 Crystals

“…Thermodynamic studies of polycrystalline-ruthenium (Ru)-doped LiKSO 4 have shown that in the vicinity of high-temperature phases, the Ru content changes the transition temperature T c and also the value of the specific heat C p at the transition temperature. 19) In pure LiKSO 4 , values of the specific heat and dielectric constant have changed markedly in the vicinity of 57 K on cooling runs and thermal hysteresis has occurred on successive heating and cooling cycles, 20) as also observed in LiK 1Àx -Rb x SO 4 .…”
