Abstract

Graphite intercalation compounds offer a unique laboratory in which to study many kinds of phase transitions. These include melting, reorientations, staging, commensurate-incommensurate effects, and certain types of lattice gas transitions. Molecular and alkali-metal intercalates are discussed with reference to results of X-ray diffuse scattering studies as a function of temperature and pressure.
