Abstract:It is convenient to consider a change in the structure of crystalline material as a reason for remarkable modifications in its physical properties: a structural phase transition often results in the anomalous behaviour of macroscopic parameters in condensed matter. However, is it always true that a detected change in properties, discontinuous or smooth, manifests itself as a change in the crystal structure? Isostructural transformations exemplify a violation of such a rule. They connect phases with identical s… Show more
