Enthalpy increment measurements from 4.5 K to 350 K and the thermodynamic properties of the titanium silicide TiSi(cr)

Enthalpy increments for TiSi(cr) were measured from 4.5 K to 350 K with an adiabatic calorimeter. A small anomaly, of unknown origin, was detected bet ween 5 K and 15 K. From the present measurements and other measurements in the literature, the enthalpy relative to 0 K, the entropy, and the heat cap acity of TiSi(cr) to 1500 K were calculated. The coefficient for the heat c apacity of the conduction electrons, gamma(el), was estimated from the meas urements. Thermodynamic properties for formation from the elements at 298.1 5 K were also given.
