Description

In the present study, heat capacity measurement on Usub(0.927)Gdsub(0.073)Osub(1.998) was conducted up to 1370 K by means of direct heating pulse calorimetry. In this calorimeter, the electric power is directly supplied to the sample rod in a short period (usually 1 s) through a regulated dc power supply or a battery and the temperature rise of the sample is measured by a Pt/Pt-13% Rh thermocouple.
