We investigate by fast-scanning nanocalorimetry the formation of Freon 113 films from the vapor phase at deposition temperatures ranging from 50 to 120 K, that is, spanning above and below the transition temperature of the glassy crystal to the plastic crystal (Tgc = 72 K). Analysis of the heat capacity curves indicates that vapor deposition at T < Tgc of the highly fragile Freon 113 yields structural and orientational glasses in the as-deposited state depending on the temperature range of deposition. Interestingly, growing above Tgc produces plastic crystals with a conformational ratio C1/Cs that changes with Tdep above and below 110–120 K, the temperature at which previous works have identified the arrest of the transformations between the C1 and Cs conformers.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
