    Abstract

    The capillary condensation of a solid from vapor was directly observed. The apparent change in properties of the solid condensates with temperatures was taken into account with reference to structural transitions in the bulk materials and the films adsorbed at the mica surface. Results show how the SFA may be used to study solids in nanoscale pores via capillary-condensation experiments.
