Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

The enthalpy of Ho5Ge3 is measured by drop calorimetry between 463 and 2314 K for the first time. The temperature dependences of enthalpy, heat capacity, entropy, and Gibbs free energy are plotted and, enthalpy and entropy of melting are calculated.
