The isobaric heat capacities of two monoclinic (M' and M) modifications of yttrium orthotantalate at temperatures 5–1300 K have been measured by the adiabatic and differential scanning calorimetry methods. It has been demonstrated that the difference in structure between the crystal lattices of M' and M has small effect in the heat capacity, and the difference between the heat capacities of these phases Cp(M)-Cp(M') is small, always positive, and increases in the range of the lowest temperatures. The unit cell parameters of M-YTaO4 have been determined as a function of temperature in the range 300–1173 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
