R. Vlokh et al., The isolated point on the concentration-temperature phase diagram of K2Cd2xMn2(1-x)(SO4)(3) crystals, FERROELECTR, 237(1-4), 2000, pp. 481-487
The isolated point of second order phase transition (x(i) = 0.8; T-i = 358K
) has been found on the phase x,T-diagram in the line of the first order fe
rroelastic phase transitions of the K2Cd2xMn2(1-x),(SO4)(3) solid solutions
. The concentration-temperature phase diagram of the K2Cd2xMn2(1-x)(SO4)(3)
ferroelastic solid solutions was described and discussed based on the ther
modynamic potential. It was shown that isolated point can occur in ferroela
stic langbeinites when both coefficients near third order term gamma(1) and
gamma(2) simultaneously are equal to zero.
