Abstract
A joint external probe ESR and PALS study on cyclohexane (CHX) using stable free radical 2,2,6,6-tetra-methyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) or ortho-positronium (o-Ps), respectively, is reported. The slow to fast transition of TEMPO occurs at the characteristic ESR temperature T50G coinciding with the solid to solid transition temperature, TSS. Moreover, o-Ps lifetime τ3(T50G)=2.0ns is close to an empirical rule τ3(T50G)=2.17±0.15ns found for a series of amorphous glass-formers indicating that main transition of the TEMPO connected with the ‘rigid’ to plastic crystalline state transition in CHX occurs under the similar local free volume condition as in amorphous media.
