Preferred Label : λ-transition;
Detailed label : λ-transition (lambda-transition);
IUPAC definition : A second-order or higher-order transition, in which the heat capacity shows either
a discontinuity (second-order) or a vertex (higher-order) at the transition temperature.
Example: The transition at 846 K, accompanied by a finite change in specific heat
capacity at constant pressure Cp, of the low-temperature polymorph of quartz to the
high-temperature polymorph.;
