$H$-$T$ phase diagram of solid oxygen

Abstract

Comprehensive magnetic-field-temperature ($H$-$T$) phase diagram of solid oxygen including the $\theta$ phase is discussed in the context of the ultrahigh-field measurement and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) measurement. The problems originating from the short duration of the pulse field, non-equilibrium condition and MCEs, are pointed out and dealt with. The obtained phase diagram manifests the entropy relation between the phases as $S_\theta \sim S_\alpha<S_\beta<<S_\gamma$.
