Temperature dependence of thermal property for lead nitrate crystal

Abstract Thermal property was measured in a lead nitrate crystal, Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , at temperatures from 90 to 340 K by use of ac calorimetry technique. The heat capacity derived from the measurements showed temperature dependence with thermal hysteresis, in the temperature region from 240 to 300 K. The anomaly of the heat capacity was found in the vicinity of 275.22 K. The broad temperature variation in the heat capacity was observed in the region from 235 to 260 K.
