Zz. Zhuang et al., SPECIFIC-HEAT STUDY OF THE CDW PHASE-TRANSITION FOR THE TL DOPED BLUEBRONZE K0.15TL0.15MOO3, Solid state communications, 99(4), 1996, pp. 265-268
High resolution specific heat measurements have been performed on K0.3
MoO3 and K0.15Tl0.15MoO3 in the temperature region between 90 and 220K
. Specific heat anomalies are observed at 178K and 164.8K for K0.3MoO3
and K0.15Tl0.15MoO3 respectively. The specific heat jump, entropy and
enthalpy changes associated with the CDW phase transition are estimat
ed The results suggest that perfect order of K polyhedral chains is im
portant for the phase transition of K blue bronze. Copyright (C) 1996
