Conditions:
Room Temp: 255 - 279 $\pu{K}$
Compiler:
Methodology:
The synthetic method was used with a simplified version of the apparatus described in work [1]. Temperature was changed at the rate < 0.01 K/min; there was no visible influence of the rate on the transition temperature up to the rate 0.1 K/min. Due to the very weak turbidity a long capillary cell was employed. A 5-mW Polythec HeNe laser was used as a probe for detecting the phase separation.
Sample Information:
- Sigma; 99.5% D; carefully dried over 5 Å molecular sieves; not purified.
- From Institute of Atomic Energy, Isotope Distribution Center; 99.92% D; twice distilled.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±5 mK
