High-Temperature Heat Capacity of Y0.65Pr0.35BiGeO5 and Y0.65Nd0.35BiGeO5 in the Range 350–1000 K

Oxides Y0.65Pr0.35BiGeO5 and Y0.65Nd0.35BiGeO5 have been synthesized by a ceramic method. The heat capacity of fine crystalline samples has been studied in the range 350–1000 K by differential scanning calorimetry. The Cp = f(T) dependences can be described by the Maier–Kelley equation. The thermodynamic functions of these oxides—changes in enthalpy, entropy, and reduced Gibbs energy—have been calculated from the experimental data on high-temperature heat capacity.
