Heat Capacity and Thermodynamic Functions of Ni36Nb24Zr40 Glassy Alloy

The heat capacity of a Ni36Nb24Zr40 glassy alloy was measured by adiabatic calorimetry from 13 to 300K. The smoothed values of molar heat capacity were calculated from the data using a least-squares method. The standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy were calculated from the smoothed heat capacity values. Assuming Hð0Þ 1⁄4 0 and Sð0Þ 1⁄4 0 at 0K, the heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy at 298.15K are 24.91 J K 1 mol , 5.252 kJ mol , 36.45 J K 1 mol , and 5:615 kJ mol , respectively.
