| The crystal of (CH3)2CHNH3CdCl3 was grown and its physical properties were investigated. On the ground of DSC, dylatometric and dielectric investigations the phase transition at 390 K on heating process was revealed. On cooling two phase transitions at 382 K and 352 K were found. Polarized microscope observations show appearance of ferroelastic domain structure and cracks at 390 K on heating. On cooling the observed domain structure vanishes at 352 K. |
