INTENSITY AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE OF THE LOW-ANGLE X- RAY DIFFRACTION MAXIMA OF THE N-PARAFFINS. HEXATRIACONTANE, TETRATETRACONTANE, AND TETRANONACONTANE

Abstract

The intensity of these maxima was found to increase with increasing temperature in an approximately reversible manner. All the samples experienced solid-solid phase transitions in the temperature range of observation. Several possible mechanisms consistent with the temperature dependence of the intensity are considered.
