Abstract
A complex phase transition sequence was found in (C3H7NH3)2CuCl4 crystals. The specific heat Cp, thermal expansion Delta d/d0 and linear birefringence Delta b have been used to study this sequence. By comparison with the isomorphous manganese compound, two unusual features can be identified: a re-entrant phase ( gamma -phase) and a lock-in phase transition ( epsilon - zeta ) with a flipping modulation vector. The experimental results are discussed within the framework of the Landau theory.
