Principles and Characteristics Thermal analysis (TA) is the general denomination of methods in which bulk physical property changes of a material, a mixture of substances or a reaction mixture are measured in response to programmed changes in temperature in a specified atmosphere [5,6]. The main physical properties measured are transition temperatures, enthalpy, dimensional changes, viscoelastic properties, dielectric properties and mass changes (Table 2.4). 

Some physical properties of the elements are compared in Table 10,2. Germanium forms brittle, grey-white lustrous crystals with the diamond structure it is a metalloid with a similar electrical resistivity to Si at room temperature but with a substantially smaller band gap. Its mp, bp and associated enthalpy changes are also lower than for Si and this trend continues for Sn and Pb which are both very soft, low-melting metals. 

The enthalpy that accompanies a change of physical state at standard conditions is called the standard enthalpy of transition and is denoted A trsH°. Enthalpy changes accompanying chemical reactions at standard conditions are in general termed standard enthalpies of reaction and denoted A r H0. Two simple examples are given in Table 1.3. In general, from the first law, the standard enthalpy of a reaction is given by... 

The thermodynamic quantities listed are for one mole of substance in its standard state, that is at 1 atm pressure. The enthalpies and free energies of formation of substances are the changes in those thermodynamic properties when a substance in its standard state is formed from its elements in their standard states. The standard state of an element is its normal physical state at 1 atm, and for the data given in these tables, 298.15 K. The entropies listed are absolute in the sense that they are based on the assumption that the entropy of a pure substance is zero at the absolute zero of temperature. 

The group 18 elements are the noble gases (see Chapter 17), and Table 5.1 lists selected physical data for these elements. Each element (with the exception of helium, see footnote in Table 5.1) solidifies only at low temperatures. The enthalpy changes accompanying the fusion processes are very small, consistent with the fact that only weak van der Waals forces operate between the atoms in the solid state. In the crystalline solid, ccp structures are adopted by each of solid Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe. 

Having the entropy changes now roughly bracketed, we can estimate the required enthalpy changes to obtain the transition temperature in a physically accessible region (say, 4K < Tc < 400 K). A correspondence of the thermodynamic data is given in Table 9.2.
