Anomalous low-temperature heat capacity in antiperovskite compounds

The low-temperature heat capacities are studied for antiperovskite compounds AX M_3（A = Al, Ga, Cu, Ag, Sn, X = C,N, M = Mn, Fe, Co）. A large peak in（C- γ T）/T^3 versus T is observed for each of a total of 18 compounds investigated,indicating an existence of low-energy phonon mode unexpected by Debye T^3 law. Such a peak is insensitive to the external magnetic field up to 80 k Oe（1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m-1）. For compounds with smaller lattice constant, the peak shifts towards higher temperatures with a reduction of peak height. This abnormal peak in（C- γ T）/T^3 versus T of antiperovskite compound may result from the strongly dispersive acoustic branch due to the heavier A atoms and the optical-like mode from the dynamic rotation of X M_6 octahedron. Such a low-energy phonon mode may not contribute negatively to the normal thermal expansion in AX M_3 compounds, while it is usually concomitant with negative thermal expansion in open-structure material（e.g., ZrW_2O_8, Sc F_3）.

Low-Temperature Heat Capacity and Thermal Decomposition of Crystalline[Ho(Thr)(H_2O)_5]Cl_3

Rare earth elements have been widely used in many areas. Rare earth complex bearing an amino acid was synthesized to study the influence and the long term effect of rare earth elements on environment and human beings, because amino acid is the basic unit of the living things.

Here we present the thermodynamic study of [Ho(H 2O) 5]Cl 3. The heat capacity of Holmium complex with threonine, [Ho(Thr)(H 2O) 5]Cl 3 , was measured with an automatic adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from 79 K to 330 K and no thermal anomaly was found in this range. Thermodynamic functions relative to standard state 298 15 K were derived from the heat capacity data. Thermal decomposition behavior of the complex in nitrogen atmosphere in the range from 300 K to 900 K was studied by thermogravimetric (TG) technique and a possible decomposition mechanism was proposed according to the TG DTG results.

Co_((1-x))ZnxFe_(2)O_(4)nanospheres(x=0,0.5,0.8)with a unidirectional cubic spinel structure were prepared by a solvothermal method.By using a range of theoretical and empirical models,the experimental heat capacity values were fitted as a function of temperature over a suitable temperature range to explain the possible relationship between the magnetic properties and microstructure of the nanospheres.As a result,at a low temperature(T<10 K),the parameter Bfswdecreases with increasing Zn concentration,implying that the exchange interaction between A and B sites decreases.At a relatively high temperature(T>50 K),the Debye temperature decreases with increasing Zn concentration,which is due to the weakening of the interatomic bonding force after the addition of non-magnetic materials to the Co Fe_(2)O_(4)spinel ferrite.

Maximum heat transfer capacity of high temperature heat pipe with triangular grooved wick

A mathematical model was developed to predict the maximum heat transfer capacity of high temperature heat pipe with triangular grooved wick. The effects of the inclination angle and geometry structure were considered in the proposed model.Maximum heat transfer capacity was also investigated experimentally.
