yclohexcnol was measured for neutrons w i t h wavelength of X = 6 13 A, varying the sample temperature in a range that includes the temperature of melting From these experimental results and by comparison w i t h theoretical calculations based in the Placzek model i t was possible t o obtain the Debye temperatures for b o t h states These temperatures were used m the calculation of the disorder entropy variation near the fusion p o i n t INTRODUCTION Slow neutron transmission methods can be used t o investigate physical properties such as freedom o f m o t i o n o f molecules and molecular groups in condensed states of matter*^ 6 1 0 1 1 ) this regard the plastic solids f o r m e d b y globular molecules are of particular interest since their physical properties are intermediate between liquids and solids These solids called organic globular compounds usually presents a very small e n t r o p y o f melting'^ i> « 5 cal/mole K) the term globular* is applied t o t h e m because the molecules involved possess a spherical s y m m e t r y about the center o f mass as a result either of the distribution o f the atoms or of the rotation o f the molecule about its center The solid f o r m e d by such a molecule when it freezes f r o m the l i q u i d state displays rather unusual physical properties that have been explained as resulting f r o m practically unhindered r o t a t i o n of the molecules about their lattice positions The name plastic crystals for the solids arises because among these properties one f i n d the ease of plastic f l o w under o n l y moderate pressures In every case it is observed a transition at some definite temperature below the freezing p o i n t f r o m the plastic solid f o r m t o a crystalline f o r m t h a t behaves like an ordinary s o l i d * * ' In the rotational f o r m stable at temperatures just below the freezing p o i n t the crystal structure is usually of the cubic f a m i l y In the present w o r k the cyclohexanol was selected f o r the studies because its solids state crystallizes in a cubic system and f o r its properties as a globular substance The liquid-solid transition in cyclohexanol was investigated t o obtain informations about the transition itself and also t o obtain informations a b o u t the cyclohexanol in the liquid state A t o m i c or molecular vibrational m o t i o n is one of the physical parameters whose changes play an i m p o r t a n t part in this transition It can be successfully investigated by means o f slow neutron transmission methods* The t o t a l cross section measurements as a f u n c t i o n o f temperature of the sample in a range near the melting p o i n t allows a clear observation on changes in the molecular dynamics at state transition In this paper f r o m the slow neutron transmission measurements carried o u t on solid and liquid cyclohexanol near the melting p o i n t (25 5 ° C ) , it was possible t o determine the Debye temperature f o r the l i q u i d cyclohexanol and evaluate a disorder entropy at the melting p o i n t transition I 1 This research v^as partially supported b y the Comissão Nacional de Energia

the l E A 2 MW light water reactor A magnetite crystal monochromator and an appropriate choice of polycrystalline filters o f Be and Pb were used t o select only neutrons f r o m first order Bragg s

contamination On heating the variation occurred near 15°C T h e temperature difference f r o m heating and cooling cannot be ascribed t o an enror in the temperature measurement and may be due t o a
