Abstract Measurements on semimetals have been continued. Studies of the dependence on temperature of various properties have provided details regarding the transition from the nonmetallic to the more metallic structure. A second‐order transition has been found for tin at 170 °C, in which the c‐axis remains unchanged, while the a‐axis undergoes a small, discontinuous elongation.
