Abstract

The broken symmetry phase (BSP) transition in solid HD has been shown to be an example of quantum orientational melting. Anomalous features observed for the transition are a consequence of the symmetry properties of the system, namely, the fact that in HD all rotational states and transitions between them are allowed, in contrast to the behavior of the homonuclear H2 and D2.
