Temperature-dependent specific heat of suspended platinum nanofllms at 80-380 K

Metallic nanofilms are important components of nanoscale electronic circuits and nanoscale sensors.The accurate characterization of the thermophysical properties of nanofilms is very important for nanoscience and nanotechnology.Currently,there is very little specific heat data for metallic nanofilms,and the existing measurements indicate distinct differences according to the nanofilm size.The present work reports the specific heats of 40-nm-thick suspended platinum nanofilms at 80-380 K and ~5 ×10~(-4) Pa using the 3 ω method.Over 80-380 K,the specific heats of the Pt nanofilms range from 166-304 J/(kg·K),which are 1.65-2.60 times the bulk values,indicating significant size effects.These results are useful for both scientific research in nanoscale thermophysics and evaluating the transient thermal response of nanoscale devices.

Electronic specific heat of nanographite ribbons

The electronic specific heat of nanographite ribbons exhibits rich temperature dependence, mainly owing to the special band structures. The thermal property strongly depends on the geometric structures, the edge structure and the width. There is a simple relation between the ribbon width and the electronic specific heat for the metallic or semiconducting armchair ribbons. However, it is absent for the zigzag ribbons. The metallic armchair ribbons exhibit linear temperature dependence. The semiconducting armchair ribbons exhibit composite behavior of power and exponential functions. As for the zigzag ribbons, the temperature dependence of the specific heat is proportional to T^1−p. The value of p quickly increases from to 1 as the ribbon width gradually grows. The zigzag ribbons might be the first system which exhibits the novel temperature dependence. The nanographite ribbons differ from an infinite graphite sheet, which illustrates that the finite-size effects are significant.

Transition temperature model based on specific heat data of an FeAs-based superconductor

In this article, we studied the specific heat data of iron-based superconductors LaO_{1? x} F _x FeAs (x?=?0.1) and SmO_{1? x} F _x FeAs (x?=?0.13,?0.12, and 0.1). (i) The contribution of phonons in specific heat above T_c depends exponentially on temperature. (ii) The specific heat has different contributions, and they change differently at T_c . This change must be the effect of a physical function on heat capacity. Therefore, transition temperature is defined by thermal parameters. For LaO_0.9F_0.1FeAs and SmO_0.87F_0.13FeAs, a transition point was evaluated at 22.11 and 26.32?K, respectively. This is in close agreement with the midpoint transition temperatures obtained from dc resistivity and magnetization experiments, where the modified electronic heat capacity led to the approximate value of the transition point in two samples. The jump, ΔC/γT _c, and the electronic and lattice heat capacity coefficients, γ and β, respectively, were evaluated.     

The DNA electronic specific heat at low temperature: The role of aperiodicity

The electronic specific heat spectra at constant volume (_CV$C_V$) of a long-range correlated extended ladder model, mimicking a DNA molecule, is theoretically analyzed for a stacked array of a double-stranded structure made up from the nucleotides guanine G, adenine A, cytosine C and thymine T  . The role of the aperiodicity on _CV$C_V$ is discussed, considering two different nucleotide arrangements with increasing disorder, namely the Fibonacci and the Rudin–Shapiro quasiperiodic structures. Comparisons are made for different values of the band fillings, considering also a finite segment of natural DNA, as part of the human chromosome Ch22.

The specific heat of potassium holmium double tungstate

The results of measurements of thermal properties (specific heat) of potassium holmium double tungstate KHo(WO₄)₂ as a function of temperature (from 0.5 to 300?K) and magnetic field (up to 2?T) are presented. The total specific heat without the phonon and Schottky contributions is found to have the anomaly with maximum at T _SPT?～?5?K. This anomaly is likely related with the structural phase transition (SPT) caused by the cooperative Jahn–Teller effect. The increase of specific heat at very low temperatures and its shift towards high temperatures with increasing magnetic field are observed. The origin of this behaviour can be connected with possible magnetic phase transition induced by magnetic field.     

Field-enhanced electronic specific heat of carbon nanotubes

The tight-binding model including curvature effects is used to study the effect of transverse electric field on the low-temperature electronic specific heat (C_v) for armchair and zigzag carbon nanotubes (ACNTs and ZCNTs). Electric field could effectively modulate energy dispersions of CNTs and cause a shift of electronic states toward the Fermi energy. As field strength reaches to a critical value (F_c), it induces special structures in the density of states near the Fermi energy and thus the giant specific heat. At F_cs, C_v has a value comparable to that of the phonon specific heat and reveals strongly non-linear dependence on temperature. The critical field strength and giant specific heat are closely related to nanotube's geometry. Moreover, under F_cs, the extra longitudinal magnetic flux could cause a re-enhancement in C_v for ZCNTs, whereas C_v is always diminished for ACNTs.     

Specific Heat of Hollow Nanosphere Coupled to Substrate： Quantum Size Effects

With the help of the elastic wave theory in the perturbed approximation the density-of-states for vibrational modes and the specific heat are studied for different hollow Si nanospheres, coupled with a semi-infinite substrate. We find that the modes of such coupled hollow spheres are significantly broadened and shifted toward low frequencies. The specific heat of the coupled hollow nanosphere is bigger than an isolated one due to the coupling interaction and quantum size effects. The predicted coupling and size enhancements on specific heat are probed in thermal experiments.     

A molecular dynamics study on melting point and specific heat of Ni<Subscript>3</Subscript>Al alloy

Using the Embedding Atom Method (EAM) for highly undercooled Ni₃Al alloy, the melting point and the specific heat were studied by a molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation of melting point was carried out by means of the sandwich method and the NVE ensemble method, and the results show a good agreement, whereas are larger than the experimental value of 1663 K. This difference is attributed to the influence of surface melting on experimental results, which causes the smaller measurements compared with the thermodynamic melting point. The simulated specific heat of Ni₃Al alloy weakly and linearly increases with the increase of undercooling in the temperature range from 800 K to 2000 K.

Theory of specific heat of vortex liquid of high T_c superconductors

Superconducting thermal fluctuation(STF) plays an important role in both thermodynamic and transport properties in the vortex liquid phase of high T_c superconductors.It was widely observed in the vicinity of the critical transition temperature.In the framework of Ginz burg-Landau-La wrence-Doniach theory in magnetic field,a self-consistent analysis of STF including all Landau levels is given.Besides that,we calculate the contribution of STF to specific heat in vortex liquid phase for high T_c cuprate superconductors,and the fitting results are in good agreement with experimental data.

Floating zone growth and magnetic and specific heat properties of La0.67Ca0.33Mn1-xFexO3（x=0.00,0.04）single crystals

Single crystals of La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ and La_0.67Ca_0.33Mn_0.96Fe_0.04O₃ were obtained by floating zone method. Laue diffraction pattern and rocking curve of the single crystals show that their quality is good. The magnetic behaviours of these compounds have been studied. Fe doping significantly depresses the magnetic contribution to the total specific heat C_P, but slightly influences the lattice contribution at temperatures above 50K. The peak of C_P shifts towards high temperatures with increasing magnetic field. Both single crystals exhibit the first-order magnetic transition around the Curie temperature.
