Study of Kinetics of Solid Phase Transition in Tetracosane С 24 Н 50 by High-Resolution Synchrotron X-Ray Powder Diffraction

Using the small-angle synchrotron X-ray diffraction method at the research facility “BELOK” of the Kurchatov synchrotron radiation source at the NRC Kurchatov Institute, it was shown that the first-order solid phase transition in tetracosane C 24 H 50 passes according to a heterogeneous mechanism in a narrow temperature range Δ T ~ 1 K in accordance with the theory of diffuse phase transitions.
