The isobaric heat capacity of CuO was measured in the temperature range of
350-1130 K by DSC. The temperature dependence of the heat capacity exhibits
rather unusual course which can be explained by significant magnetic contr
ibution extending up to similar or equal to 900 K. The derived heat capacit
y polynomial equation fits the published experimental heat content data up
to 1300 K with sufficient accuracy. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
