Abstract
The constant-pressure heat capacity of NCl and NCl has been investigated in the vicinity of the order-disorder transition at 1 atm and at high pressures. The ac calorimetry technique has been used and has been shown to work well for investigating solid samples under hydrostatic gas pressures up to ∼3 kbar. The "multicritical" pressure (above which the transition is continuous and below which a small first-order instability occurs) is 1500 bar for NCl and is very close to 1 atm for NCl. A correspondence was found between the variation for NCl at 1 atm and NCl at 1500 bar and also between that for NCl at 1500 bar and NCl at 3134 bar. At the multicritical pressure, the behavior of the heat capacity in the ordered phase can be well represented by a power law, and the critical exponent for NCl and 0.57±0.07 for NCl. At higher pressures, the peak values are significantly but reversibly decreased and the data show systematic deviations from a single power-law fit.
