Heat capacity ofα−GaN: Isotope effects

Isotope Effects on Heat Conduction of Carbon Nanotubes

We have been studying the heat conduction along a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) by the molecular dynamics method with the Tersoff-Brenner bond order potential [1, 2]. It is well known that the inclusion of only 1 % of C natural isotope dramatically reduces the thermal conductivity of diamond. However, isotope effects on heat conduction of SWNTs have not been elucidated. We estimated isot...

Isotope Effects, Isotope Separation and Isotope Fractionation

Heat capacity of water: A signature of nuclear quantum effects.

In this note we present results for the heat capacity at constant pressure for the TIP4PQ/2005 model, as obtained from path-integral simulations. The model does a rather good job of describing both the heat capacity of ice I(h) and of liquid water. Classical simulations using the TIP4P/2005, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4P-Ew, simple point charge/extended, and TIP5P models are unable to reproduce the heat ...

Effects of particle-number conservation on heat capacity of nuclei

K. Tanabe† Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Saitama University, Sakura, Saitama 338-8570, Japan (Dated: June 8, 2005) Abstract By applying the particle-number projection to the finite-temperature BCS theory, the S-shaped heat capacity, which has recently been claimed to be a fingerprint of the superfluid-to-normal phase transition in nuclei, is reexamined. It is found that the particl...

Heat capacity in proteins.

Heat capacity (Cp) is one of several major thermodynamic quantities commonly measured in proteins. With more than half a dozen definitions, it is the hardest of these quantities to understand in physical terms, but the richest in insight. There are many ramifications of observed Cp changes: The sign distinguishes apolar from polar solvation. It imparts a temperature (T) dependence to entropy an...
