Vb. Muratov et al., THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF TETRABORIDES OF RARE-EARTH-METALS IN THE TEMPERATURE-RANGE OF 298-K-2300-K, High temperature, 31(5), 1993, pp. 679-682
The enthalpy of gadolinium tetraboride and tetraborides of rare-earth
metals (REM) of the cerium subgroup is studied experimentally in the t
emperature range of 450 - 2300 K. Calculations of the temperature depe
ndence of their basic thermodynamic functions are performed. The cause
s of singularities in the behavior of heat capacity of REM tetraboride
s in a wide temperature range are analyzed.
