Phase transitions in M(ClO4)2.6H2O (M = magnesium, zinc). Investigations by adiabatic calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
IR spectra of Mg(ClO4)2.6H2O at 10 K indicate a complex structure contg. at least 16 distinct types of H2O protons. At 107.9 K this structure transforms sharply to a much simpler disordered form (?Strans = 7.754 J K-1 ... -
Phase transitions in metal perchlorate hydrates: the supposed hydrate-to-pseudohydrate transformations.
A polemic. The hydrate-to-pseudohydrate transformations in metal perchlorate hydrates reported by M. B. Patel and H. D. Brist (ibid. 1983, 79, 4489) and Solid State Commun. (48, 139 (1983)) as well as the suggested ... -

Photoacoustic Investigation of the Temperature and Magnetic-Field Dependence of the Specific-Heat Capacity and Thermal-Conductivity Near the Curie-Point of Gadolinium
The photoacoustic technique was used as a simple but accurate tool to simultaneously determine the specific-heat capacity C and thermal conductivity kappa of gadolinium in the neighborhood of the Curie point. One ... -

Spin waves and quantum criticality in the frustrated XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7
We report detailed measurements of the low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Er2Ti2O7. Heat capacity and time- of- flight neutron scattering studies of single crystals reveal unconventional low- energy states. Er3+ ... -
Structural principles and amorphouslike thermal conductivity of Na-doped Si clathrates
The postulated low thermal conductivity and the possibility of altering the electronic conductivity of metal-doped clathrates with semiconducting host elements have stimulated great interest in exploring these compounds ... -
Structure, thermal, and transport properties of the clathrates Sr8Zn8Ge38, Sr8Ga16Ge30, and Ba8Ga16Si30
The structural parameters, thermal properties, and transport properties of three type I clathrates, namely Sr8Zn8Ge38, Sr8Ga16Ge30, and Ba8Ga16Si30, have been determined at or below room temperature. The structural ... -
A study of phase transitions in cadmium perchlorate hexahydrate (Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O) by adiabatic calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
A calorimetric study of Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O from 20 to 345 K shows 3 phase transformations, at 124.8, 238.45, and 271.62 K. IR spectra indicate that the low-temp. structure (below 124.8 K) contains 1 type of [Cd(OH2)6]2+, of ... -
Technique for determination of accurate heat capacities of volatile, powdered, or air-sensitive samples using relaxation calorimetry
We introduce a four-step technique for the accurate determination of the heat capacity of volatile or air-sensitive samples using relaxation calorimetry. The samples are encapsulated in a hermetically sealed differential ... -
Temperature dependence of thermal conductivity enhancement in single-walled carbon nanotube/polystyrene composites
The thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/polystyrene composites, prepared by a method known to produce a uniform distribution of SWCNT bundles on the micrometer length scale, was measured in the ... -

Thermal and lattice dynamical properties of Na8Si46 clathrate
The experimental heat capacity of Na8Si46 has been determined from 35-300 K, and its lattice parameters have been measured over the range 100-330 K. The experimental heat capacity and the thermal-expansion coefficient ... -
Thermal conductivities of a clathrate with and without guest molecules.
The thermal conductivities of Dianin's compd. [4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2,4-trimethylchroman] and its ethanol adduct in the temp. range 20-250 K are reported. This clathrate has the same stable structure both with and without ... -
Thermal conductivity of (Er1-xYx)(2)Ti2O7 pyrochlore oxide solid solutions
The thermal conductivities of pyrochlore oxide solid solutions of general formula (Er1-xYx)(2)Ti2O7 with 0 <= x <= 1 have been determined for high-quality single crystals aligned along the [110] direction, over the ...
