Data of 23Na NMR spectra- and relaxation measurements are interpreted as suggesting that, upon increasing temperature the Na layers in Na0.8CoO2 adopt a 2D liquid state at T=291 K. The corresponding first order phase transition is preceded…
Evidence for the existence of van der Waals loops in pressure p versus volume v plots has for some time supported the belief that melting in two dimensions is a first order phase transition. We report rather accurate equilibrium p(v) curves…
