Low-Temperature Excess Heat Capacity of Potassium Germanate Glasses

Low-temperature excess heat capacity in fresnoite glass and crystal

The effect of thermal annealing on low-temperature excess heat capacity was investigated in fresnoite (Ba2TiSi2O8) glass. The amplitudes of the excess heat capacity decreased, and their positions shifted to a higher temperature by relaxation or crystallization. In particular, we revealed that the change in the excess heat capacity during transition from the glassy state to the crystalline state...

Low Temperature Glasses

TWRS wastes contain certain chemical components which, either because of their limited solubility or volatilization at high temperatures, present problems for conventional vitrification technologies. The current task completed by BNL concerns the use of low temperature glasses for tank waste remediation. A literature review of existing technologies highlighted lead-iron-phosphate glasses, with ...

Low-temperature Normal-state Heat Capacity of Tungsten

Low Temperature Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Properties of Zinc Ferrite*

The heat capacity of zinc ferrite (ZnFe,O,) has been determined over the range 5 to 350°K. Molal values of C~,S’, and HO-H,O computed from the thermal data are 32,99&t-0.03 cal/deg., 36.01 f0.03 cal/deg., and 18,00&0.02 Cal, respectively, at 298,lS”K. A co-operative thermal anomaly associated with antiferromagnetic ordering occurs at 9.5” and extends toward higher temperatures probably as a con...

Practical approach for measuring heat capacity of pharmaceutical crystals/glasses by modulated-temperature differential scanning calorimetry.

A practical protocol to obtain accurate heat capacity values of pharmaceutical compounds using modulated-temperature differential scanning calorimetry was established. Three pharmaceutical compounds, acetaminophen, indomethacin, and tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin were used as model compounds. Powder samples did not produce reproducible results, presumably due to inclusion of gas in gap of powders ...
