Abstract

We report experimental observations of the local orientational ordering of ortho-H2 molecules in dilute solid ortho-para mixtures for low temperatures. The results indicate a smooth, continuous freezing of the rotational degrees of freedom without any evidence for a distinct discontinuity in the temperature dependence of the local order parameters for the 37–600 mK temperature range.
