Abstract

VARIOUS workers have reported that for some liquids the dependence on temperature of certain physical properties have special features in the neighbourhood of the normal melting points. We have begun an investigation of phenomena of this type, which are potentially important for the molecular physics of liquids, and in exploratory work have found a somewhat similar effect in the electrical conductivity of an ionic aqueous solution.
