We are indebted to the investigations of Professor Cohen for a more striking example of a metastable metal, that of the " explosive " antimony. By passing an electric current through a solution of antimony chloride this metal may be deposited in the form of a thick metallic coating. <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=_iQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA31" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/books?id=_iQDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA31</a> <a href="#fnref:6" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn:7"><p>C.C.

The energy released by this transition, is measured to be 24 cal per gram of amorphous Sb and is shown to be related to a variation of the mass density and of the conductivity behaviour of Sb going from one configuration to the other. A simple theoretical model is outlined which quite satisfactory gives the gross features of the free-energy diagram of the above transition, although more deep investigation is needed to account for the energy balance of it. <a href="/wiki/Physica_Status_Solidi" target="_blank">/wiki/Physica_Status_Solidi</a> <a href="#fnref:13" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li> </ol>
