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-3,5,7-tetranitro-1.3,5,7-tetrazocine,
