Crystals specific heat

Physical property data for the product and solutions, including the heat of crystallization, specific heats, specific gravities, viscosities, vapor pressures over the solution at the operating temperatures, and thermal conductivities. 

The most direct effect of defects on tire properties of a material usually derive from altered ionic conductivity and diffusion properties. So-called superionic conductors materials which have an ionic conductivity comparable to that of molten salts. This h conductivity is due to the presence of defects, which can be introduced thermally or the presence of impurities. Diffusion affects important processes such as corrosion z catalysis. The specific heat capacity is also affected near the melting temperature the h capacity of a defective material is higher than for the equivalent ideal crystal. This refle the fact that the creation of defects is enthalpically unfavourable but is more than comp sated for by the increase in entropy, so leading to an overall decrease in the free energy... 

Here Tq are coordinates in a reference volume Vq and r = potential energy of Ar crystals has been computed [288] as well as lattice constants, thermal expansion coefficients, and isotope effects in other Lennard-Jones solids. In Fig. 4 we show the kinetic and potential energy of an Ar crystal in the canonical ensemble versus temperature for different values of P we note that in the classical hmit (P = 1) the low temperature specific heat does not decrease to zero however, with increasing P values the quantum limit is approached. In Fig. 5 the isotope effect on the lattice constant (at / = 0) in a Lennard-Jones system with parameters suitable for Ne atoms is presented, and a comparison with experimental data is made. Please note that in a classical system no isotope effect can be observed, x "" and the deviations between simulations and experiments are mainly caused by non-optimized potential parameters.

The high-temperature contribution of vibrational modes to the molar heat capacity of a solid at constant volume is R for each mode of vibrational motion. Hence, for an atomic solid, the molar heat capacity at constant volume is approximately 3/. (a) The specific heat capacity of a certain atomic solid is 0.392 J-K 1 -g.

Even when complete miscibility is possible in the solid state, ordered structures will be favored at suitable compositions if the atoms have different sizes. For example copper atoms are smaller than gold atoms (radii 127.8 and 144.2 pm) copper and gold form mixed crystals of any composition, but ordered alloys are formed with the compositions AuCu and AuCu3 (Fig. 15.1). The degree of order is temperature dependent with increasing temperatures the order decreases continuously. Therefore, there is no phase transition with a well-defined transition temperature. This can be seen in the temperature dependence of the specific heat (Fig. 15.2). Because of the form of the curve, this kind of order-disorder transformation is also called a A type transformation it is observed in many solid-state transformations.

It has also to be remembered that the band model is a theory of the bulk properties of the metal (magnetism, electrical conductivity, specific heat, etc.), whereas chemisorption and catalysis depend upon the formation of bonds between surface metal atoms and the adsorbed species. Hence, modern theories of chemisorption have tended to concentrate on the formation of bonds with localized orbitals on surface metal atoms. Recently, the directional properties of the orbitals emerging at the surface, as discussed by Dowden (102) and Bond (103) on the basis of the Good-enough model, have been used to interpret the chemisorption behavior of different crystal faces (104, 105). A more elaborate theoretical treatment of the chemisorption process by Grimley (106) envisages the formation of a surface compound with localized metal orbitals, and in this case a weak interaction is allowed with the electrons in the metal. 

The cubic dependence of cph on temperature accounts for the small specific heat at low temperature of crystalline insulators. Specific heat of rare gas crystals is shown in Fig. 3.2. 

The observed specific heat of single-crystal vanadium of Fig. 3.4(c), reported in Fig. 3.5 at H = 0, shows the form of the theoretically predicted curve. When the transition takes... 

In this temperature range, the number of phonons is small, and their scattering is due to lattice defects or to crystal boundaries. Of the two processes of scattering, the latter is of more importance since, at low temperatures, the dominant phonon wavelength is larger than the size of the lattice imperfections. As a consequence Aph is usually temperature independent. Hence, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity is that of the specific heat ... 

We shall report hereafter three examples of measurement of heat capacity the first (of a crystal) with a negligible addendum the second (of a polymer) with a heavy addendum the third is the measurement of the carrier specific heat of a heavily doped semiconductor. 

A gold film (thickness 0.1 xm, and residual resistance R 911) was deposited onto the crystal in order to obtain a heater of negligible heat capacity. It was carefully checked that the film resistance was constant along the temperature range of the specific heat measurements.
