The calorimeter is highly sensitive and operates over the temperature range 10¿300 K. It is shown that, after a proper calibration, the system enables determination of the latent heat and entropy changes in first-order solid¿solid phase transitions. The system is particularly useful for investigating materials that exhibit the giant magnetocaloric effect arising from a magnetostructural phase transition. Data for Gd5(Si0.1Ge0.9)4 are presented.4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Institute of Physics, 2003CalorímetresSòlidsEntropiaTermoelectricitatCalorimetersSolidsEntropyThermoelectricityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article512660info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
