Abstract: | ![]() Elastic neutron scattering and scanning calorimetry reveal a weakly first-order “melting” of the Li layers in the graphite intercalation compound LiC6 at T0 = 715.4 K, in excellent agreement with recent experiment with recent experiments by Robinson and Salamon. The first-order nature of the transition also agrees with a prediction by Bak and Domany derived from Landau expansions, but the detailed behavior of the fluctuation-induced power-law precursor differs from recent Monte Carlo simulations of the 3D?3q Potts model. |
