Cooling-heating cycles have been performed through the freezing and melting transition for samples with different fractional fillings. Freezing leads to a decrease of the transmission up to four orders of magnitude due to material transport in the pore network that leads to a coarsening of the pore filling. The results are compared with transmission data on isothermal filling and draining and with heat-capacity data on freezing and melting.en1550-235X200314American Physical SocietyPhysikJournal Article10.1103/PhysRevB.67.144105Journal Article
