Abstract

The heat capacity of ZnTe was measured in an adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from 15 K to 330 K. The following standard thermodynamic properties of ZnTe were derived:C_{scriptscriptstyle{p,mathrm{{m}}}}^{scriptscriptstyle{,!^circ }}left( mathrm{298}.mathrm{15}hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{K}}right) =left( mathrm{49}.mathrm{52}pm mathrm{0}.mathrm{10}right) hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{J}}cdot mathrm{{K}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}}cdot mathrm{{mol}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}};S_{scriptscriptstyle{mathrm {{m}}}}^{scriptscriptstyle{,!^circ }}left( mathrm{298}.mathrm{15}hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{K}}right) =left( mathrm{81}.mathrm{94}pm mathrm{0}.mathrm{17}right) hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{J}}cdot mathrm{{K}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}}cdot mathrm{{mol}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}};H_{scriptscriptstyle{mathrm {{m}}}}^{scriptscriptstyle{,!^circ }}left( mathrm{298}.mathrm{15}hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{K}}right) -H_{scriptscriptstyle{mathrm{{m}}}}^{scriptscriptstyle{,!^circ }}left( mathrm{0}right) =left( mathrm{10}.mathrm{98}pm mathrm{0}.mathrm{02}right) hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{kJ}}cdot mathrm{{mol}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}}; andPhi _{scriptscriptstyle{mathrm{{m}}}}^{scriptscriptstyle{,!^circ }}left( mathrm{298}.mathrm{15}hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{K}}right) =left( mathrm{45}.mathrm{12}pm mathrm{0}.mathrm{10}right) hspace{0.12em}mathrm{{J}}cdot mathrm{{K}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}}cdot mathrm{{mol}}^{scriptscriptstyle{{-mathrm{1}}}}. The Debye temperature, calculated from the heat capacity, isθD=252K.© 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd
