26. Furthermore, there can be other causes that may affect the analysis of the slow (Formula presented) mode. For example, it was suggested [G. Power and J. K. Vij, J. Chem. Phys.JCPSA60021-960610.1063/1.1648015 120, 5455 (2004)] that conflicting results on the slow (Formula presented) process of sorbitol reported in literature may be caused by the incomplete melting due to the extremely slow melting of the crystal and/or the existence orientationally disordered crystal.
