We study the temperature T and concentration n (number of carbon atoms) dependence on the transitions of the liquid, rotator (RI, RII,RIII,RIVand RV) and crystal phases in n-alkanes (CnH2n+2). The Landau phenomenological model is used by expanding the free energy in terms of the lattice distortion parameter (D) and the tilt angle (θ) of the rotator (and crystal) phases with their quadratic coupling (D2θ2).The phase line equations are obtained with some approximations by considering the first order transitions between the phases in n-alkanes. By assuming the temperature and concentration dependence of some parameters in the Landau mean field expansion, the T-n phase diagram is established by using the observed data from the literature. Our results are satisfactory to explain the first order transition between the phases, mainly for the rotator and crystal phases in n-alkanes (CnH2n+2). The T-n phase diagrams can also be obtained for some other compounds of similar structures by the Landau phenomenological model as given in this study.

Calculation of the P-T phase diagram of nitrogen using a mean field model Enginer, Y.; Algul, G.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2017-12-20) The P-T phase diagram is calculated at low and moderate pressures by obtaining the phase line equations for the transitions considered in nitrogen using the Landau phenomenological model. For some transitions, a quadratic coupling between the order parameters is taken into account in the expansion of free energies in terms of the order parameters. A quadratic function in T and P is fitted to the experimental P-T data from the literature and the fitted parameters are determined.
Calculation of the T – X phase diagram of tetradecane + hexadecane and tetradecane + pentadecane under high pressure by the landau mean field theory Tari, O.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2022-08-01) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Landau phenomenological model is applied to two binary mixtures (tetradecane + hexadecane and tetradecane + pentadecane) to calculate T−x (temperature - composition) phase diagram under high pressure for their solid – liquid equilibria. The phase line equation derived from the free energy of the solid phase is fitted to the experimental liquidus curve (T−x) from the literature and the parameters in the Landau expansion are determined. As observed experimentally, variation of the temperat...
Calculation of the Ν4 (NH4) IR Mode Frequency and the Damping Constant (FWHM) Close to the Phase Transitions in NH4Zn(HCOO)3 and Nd4Zn(DCOO)3 Kurt, Arzu; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Kurt, Mustafa (2018-09-09) Temperature dependence of the IR frequency and the damping constant (FWHM) of the ν4(1440 cm-1) NH4+and ν4(1084 cm-1) ND4+ modes, are calculated for the metal formate frameworks (MOFs) of NH4Zn(HCOO)3 and ND4Zn(DCOO)3, respectively, by using the experimental data from the literature. By assuming the IR frequency of the ν4 mode as an order parameter, its temperature dependence is calculated close to the phase transition (TC=191 K) in the NH4Zn(HCOO)3 and ND4Zn(DCOO)3 by the molecular field theory. The temper...
Calculation of the Brillouin frequencies close to phase transitions in NaNO2 Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2002-01-01) We calculate here the Brillouin frequencies of the L-mode [010], [001] and [100] of NaNO2 for the phase transitions from the paraelectric phase to the sinusoidal anti-ferroelectric phase near the Neel temperature (T-N = 437.7 K) and to the ferroelectric phase near the critical temperature (T-c = 436.3 K) in this crystalline system. For calculating the frequencies, we use the thermal expansivity data for the phase regions considered, under the assumption that the mode Gruneisen parameter determined for each ...
Calculation of the Thermodynamic Quantities for Cubic Gauche Nitrogen (cg-N) Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Akay, O. (2022-01-01) This work aims to investigate the thermodynamic properties of the cubic gauge nitrogen (cg-N) by calculating the relevant thermodynamic quantities as a functions of temperature and pressure. The thermodynamic quantities of volume (V), thermal expansion (alpha p), isothermal compressibility (kappa T), bulk modulus(B), and the heat capacity (Cp) are calculated as a function of temperature at constants pressures (0, 35, 125, 250 GPa) for the cg-N structure. Also, the pressure dependences of V, kappa T, alpha p...
