Phase Transition Properties of Solids: The Crylites, A₃MF₆

This thesis discusses structural phase transitions that occur in various cryolite compounds. The cryolites are characterised by the chemical formula A₃MF₆, where A and M are cations with valency 1 and 3 respectively. At high temperatures these compounds tend to possess a characteristic face-centred...
