Popis: The effect of restricted geometry and thermal prehistory of sample preparation on phase transitions in nanocomposites on base of porous glasses with average pore diameters 7 and 46 nm filled by potassium nitrate have been studied by X-rays and neutron diffraction. The nanoparticle sizes have been determined and phase diagrams (on cooling) for these nanoparticles have been described. It is shown that there is a critical nanoparticle size in the interval from 30 till 20 nm, at which in nanocomposite the ferroelectric phase is realized only regardless of preparation method.
