High-temperature specific heat of Bi2GeO5 and SmBiGeO5 compounds

详细

The SmBiGeO₅ compound is synthesized from Sm₂O₃, Bi₂O₃, and GeO₂ by solid-state synthesis with subsequent annealing at 1003, 1073, 1123, 1143, 1173, and 1223 K. The metastable Bi₂GeO₅ compound is prepared from melt. Temperature dependences of specific heat of Bi₂GeO₅ (350–1000 K) and SmBiGeO₅ (370–1000 K) are measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Basing on the experimental dependences C_P = f(T), the thermodynamic functions of the oxide compounds are calculated.
