Abstract
The heatQ of transformation of the chains in amorphous sulphur was measured calorimetrically. The mean value ¯Q for samples remelted atT f=443 K increases from 31.5 to 45.9 J g−1 in the measurement temperature range from 288 to 303 K.
For samples remelted in theT f range from 443 to 573 K, the ¯Q values are from 30.6 to 24.0 J g−1.
The results are discussed on the basis of the theory of nucleation and growth of nuclei.
