Critical properties at the orientational first order transition in solid o-H2 in MFA

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The mean field approximation (MFA) is used to study critical phenomena in the orientational transition of solid o-H2. The time independent correlations as well as the time dependent ones, calculated within the Glauber model, show critical behaviour at the stability limits of the ordered and disordered phase with critical indices 1/2 and 1 resp. At the equilibrium transition point the correlation lengths and relaxation times of both phases are found to be equal.
