The thermal conductivity κ (T) of pure deuterated ethanol has been measured at the
equilibrium vapor pressure of its orientationally-ordered crystal form (T= 2 K− T m) …

The reasons for the appearance of flexural rigidity of layers in strongly anisotropic layered
crystals are investigated. Structures consisting of loosely bound monatomic layers …

To interpret the anomalies in heat capacity CV (T) and temperature-dependent pressure P
(T) of solid hexagonal close-packed (hcp) 4 He we exploit the model of hcp crystalline …

Glass formation, and associated potential polyamorphism are investigated for the key
ceramic Y2O3–Al2O3 using a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques …

This is an analysis of the properties of quasi-local vibrations, and the conditions of the
formation thereof, in a realistic model of the crystal lattice on a microscopic scale. The …

A model of a close-packed polytype with a random stacking fault structure is used to interpret
the anomalies of the thermodynamic properties of the disordered (glassy) phase in solid …

The theoretical and experimental study of low-temperature heat capacity of InSe intercalated
by nickel as a function of temperature has been carried out in range 0.3–30 K. The effect of …

The results of experimental studies of alternating (ac) magnetic susceptibility and specific
heat of Zn (PO 3) 2· Er (PO 3) 3 glass are reported. Despite a high concentration of magnetic …

Phonon spectra of solid substitutional solutions with finite concentrations of impurities were
analyzed on the microscopic level. The local phonon densities of impurity atoms were …

It is well known that heavy or weakly bound to the atoms of the host lattice impurities enrich
the low-frequency region of the phonon spectrum and lead to a significant change in low …
