Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Gd2Sn2O7 gadolinium stannate with the pyrochlore structure has been prepared by solid-state reaction and its high-temperature heat capacity has been determined by differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 350–1020 K. The C p (T) data are shown to be well represented by the classic Maier–Kelley equation. The experimental C p (T) data have been used to evaluate the thermodynamic functions of gadolinium stannate: enthalpy increment H°(T)–H°(339 K), entropy change S°(T)–S°(339 K), and reduced Gibbs energy Ф°(Т).
