Phase Transition Temperatures of the Solid Elements at Atmospheric Pressure

Published

Author(s)

Donald Burgess

Abstract

This work compiles and evaluates phase transition temperatures for the elements that can exist in two or more crystalline forms (allotropes) at normal atmospheric pressure. The crystal phases are labeled by Greek letters in the most common conventions, although some variation is found. About 100 different recommended phase transition temperatures for about 40 elements are provided taken from 200+ individual determinations.
