The fluctuating specific heat is calculated by using the optimized self-consistent perturbation approach and the results are applied to analyze the thermodynamic data of the iron-based superconductors Ba(1-x)KxFe2As2 with x -0.4, which have been suggested to have a two-band structure by recent experiments. We estimate the fluctuation strength in this material and find that the specific heat is described well with the Ginzburg number Gi = 4 · 10^-4. The influence of interband coupling strength is investigated and the result of the two-band Gaussian approximation approach is compared.展开更多

It was found that the variation tendencies of the specific heat capacity for different phases are different. The fitting equations of the specific heat capacity for martensite and austenite phases were presented. Then, a reason, based on thermodynamic point of view, was proposed to explain the difference of the specific heat capacity between martensitic and austenitic phases. Finally, compared with the specific heat capacity of pure Ni and Ti, it was found that the specific heat capacity of NiTi alloy is inherent to that of pure Ti. When the specific heat capacity of NiTi alloy is calculated by Neuman Kopp, in the temperature region of phase transformation and the temperature higher than 400 K, the results are not desirable.[展开更多

Attempt has been made to use the MB structure of IP superconductors and expressions for critical temperature (T<sub>c</sub>) and C<sub>es</sub> are obtained, calculations being made for one, two and three bands of SmOFeAs. It has been found that MB results are close to the experimental value of T<sub>c</sub> for this compound. C<sub>es</sub> calculations show jump of 1.5 × 10<sup>-5</sup> eV/atom K, 4 × 10<sup>-5</sup> eV/atom K and 4 × 10<sup>-5</sup> eV/atom K for one, two and three band models respectively. The study brings out the importance of MB structure in IPs, highlighting the fact that increasing the number of bands, increases T<sub>c</sub>. The specific heat jump (∆C) does not correspond to the BCS value, thereby proving that IPs are unconventional in nature.展开更多
