Abstract
An experimental study is reported of the commensurate (√7 × √7)R19.1° to glass phase transition in stages I ≼ n ≼ 4 graphite-SbCl5 using electron and x-ray diffraction. The electron diffraction studies show an in-plane phase transition to a glass at low temperatures. The (00ℓ) x-ray diffraction scans show that the c-axis layered structure of the intercalate is unchanged by the phase transition. A driving mechanism for the commensurate to glass transition is suggested.
