Investigation on double perovskite Ba4Ca2Ta2O11

The structure, conductivity and water uptake of the oxygen-deficient perovskite-type compound Ba₄Ca₂Ta₂O₁₁ have been investigated. Ba₄Ca₂Ta₂O₁₁ crystallizes in the cryolite structure (cubic, Fm3m SG) with a = 8.4508(2) Å, under dry air.

Behavior of [`(a)] 20 \bar \alpha _2^0 T of aqueous urea near the singularity point

Relations for the apparent molar heat capacity ϕ_c of urea in an aqueous solution depending on the molality m and temperature were obtained. A transition to the relations ϕ_c(m,T) for D₂O-(ND₂)₂CO and T₂O-(NT₂)₂CO systems was effected by temperature scaling. At low temperatures, the isotherms of the molar heat capacity C _p(m) of the protium and deuterium systems have minima shifted to more dilute solutions at elevated temperatures. At m = 1, C _p of a solution does not depend on temperature in both systems. The dependences C _p(T) also have minima at constant concentrations. The temperature of the minimum heat capacity is most effectively lowered by small additions of urea. For m = 0.25, T _min is 7.5 K lower than T _min of pure water, and its heat capacity is 0.08 J/(mol K) higher. A transition from m = 1.5 to m = 2 lowers the temperature of the minimum heat capacity by 3.6 K; thus, the heat capacity of solutions differs by 0.02 J/(mol K) only.
