Variables:

Room Temp: 260 - 272 $\pu{K}$

Prepared by:

V.P. Sazonov

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The synthetic method was used with a simplified version of the apparatus described in [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.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Byk-Malinckrodt; AR; carefully purified by the column distillation; purity of the collected fractions at least 99.95 mass%.
2. Millipore Mili-Q; quality.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: ±5 mK
