22. 23-25) was also tried to fit the X-ray diffraction data in order to parameterize the experimental curves shown in Fig. 2. However, the fitting results were not uniquely concluded since the present phasechange process was not isothermal process. Thus the experimental curves were parameterized by the linear function fitting to evaluate the start and end times of the phase changes in the present study.
