Intercomparison of calorimetry, Raman spectroscopy, and second harmonic generation applied to solid-solid phase transitions.
This paper compares several different observables for use in measuring the kinetics of solid-solid phase transitions. Relative advantages and disadvantages for each technique are described, and a direct comparison of results is made for the beta to delta polymorphic phase transition of the energetic nitramine, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine.
