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 Diffraction Studies of Phase-Transitions in the Incommensurate Compound [P(Ch3)(4)]2CuCl4
Calorimetric and x-ray-diffraction studies of the commensurate -
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 ... -

A thermodynamic investigation of dynamical disorder in phase II of CBr4.
CBr4 is an archetypal example of a pseudospherical mol. that can form an orientationally disordered phase (phase I, 320 K < T < 365 K). At lower temps., phase II is the stable phase; although it must be more ordered than ... -
Transport properties of Na8Si46
We report on transport properties of polycrystalline Na8Si46 in the temperature range 10 to 300 K. The compound is a type I clathrate with Na incorporated into polyhedra formed by framework Si atoms. Seebeck coefficient ... -
