Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of cadmium tellurites in the range of 298.15–673 K

Abstract

The isobaric heat capacity of cadmium tellurites is studied by dynamic calorimetry in the range of 298.15–673 K to derive the equation for the C p ○ ∼ f(T) dependence, and to determine the thermodynamic functions. The C p ○ ∼ f(T) dependences exhibit sharp λ-shaped anomalous effects due apparently to secondorder phase transitions.
