Steady-State, ac-Temperature Calorimetry

Sullivan, Paul F., Seidel, G.·1968·Physical Review

Abstract

A steady-state technique for measuring heat capacity using ac heating is described. Heat is applied sinusoidally in time to a sample coupled thermally to a reservoir; the resultant equilibrium temperature of the sample contains a term that is both inversely proportional to the heat capacity and measurable with high precision. The effects of various corrections that must be applied to the data are considered in detail. Measurements of the absolute magnitude of the heat capacity of indium and the field dependence of the heat capacity of beryllium have been made and are used to illustrate the power of the method. The observed quantum oscillations in the heat capacity of beryllium are in agreement with predictions based on other measurements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
