PACS 05.70.Fh, 78.66 Qn Precise determination of phase transitions by x-ray analysis requires doses which can cause lattice damage. An alternative initial probe is feasible with radioluminescence temperature measurements, as the spectra, intensity and luminescence lifetimes can all alter discontinuously at a phase transition. The method reduces the total dose by ~10
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
