β¦ Synopsis
This essay discusses recent work on bismuth ferrite, which reveals theoretically and experimentally a phase transition under stress that does not change symmetry but changes the c/a lattice constant ratio. As shown by Ishibashi, such transitions must be discontinuous and are described by free energies eighthβorder in polarization P. Such a predicted twoβstep change in P is also known in potassium nitrate films.

Pure polycrystalline Li 2 C 2 could be obtained by the reaction of lithium and graphite flakes in an arc-melting furnace. X-ray powder investigations on these samples confirm the crystal structure given by Juza, Wehle, and Schuster (Immm, No. 71, Z = 2) which is isotypic to Rb 2 O 2 and Cs 2 O 2 . A
