Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1063/1.5093525
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article details the results of IR spectrometric studies on methanol cryovacuum condensates formed on a metal mirror at temperatures between 16–130 K. The vibrational spectra of gaseous methanol are compared to that of methanol condensed into the solid state. It is shown that the vibrational spectra have a significant dependence on the samples’ history and subsequent changes in temperature. Analysis of the obtained spectra allows for the determination of the temperature at which the glassy state (GS) transitions to the supercooled liquid (SCL) state, Tg = 102.6 K. The temperature range in which the SCL state exists is identified as 103–118 K, and the temperature range in which the SCL crystallizes, is found to be 118–120 K.
