Abstract:
Using the small-angle synchrotron X-ray diffraction method at the research facility “BELOK” of the Kurchatov synchrotron radiation source at the NRC Kurchatov Institute, it was shown that the first-order solid phase transition in tetracosane Ñ$_{24}$Í$_{50}$ passes according to a heterogeneous mechanism in a narrow temperature range $\Delta T\sim$ K in accordance with the theory of diffuse phase transitions.
