Abstract
The broken symmetry phase.(BSP) transition in solid HD has been shown to be an example of quantum orientational melting. Anomalous features observed for the transition are a consequence of the symmetry properti es of the system, namely, the fact that in HD all rotational states an d transitions between them are allowed in contrast to the behavior of the homonuclear H-2 and D-2.
