Low temperature heat capacity measurements on HoBa2Cu3O7−δ

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 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...

Heat-capacity measurements on small samples: the hybrid method.

A newly developed method is presented for measuring heat capacities on small samples, particularly where thermal isolation is not sufficient for the use of the traditional semiadiabatic heat-pulse technique. This "hybrid technique" is a modification of this heat-pulse method in case the temperature drift of the sample after the heat pulse is not linear but exponential. Deliberate extrapolations...
