Abstract: | The course of the order parameter around the β, γ phase transition (235 K) in the NH4Br has been closely observed by means of linear optical birefringence. The experimental data were fitted in the critical region T > 0.9T0 by the Landau theory and a simple power law. Both relations reveal a first order transition, with the jump height in the birefringence amounting to Δn(T0)/?Δn(120 K) = 0.145. |
