The modified Schomeit method for processing enthalpies is suggested, which provides for agreement between high-temperature data on C p both with a reliably measured value of and with derivative . The latter gives a "smoother" joining of dependences C p (T) obtained experimentally with different accuracy. The suggested procedure is applied to analysis of experimentally obtained distributions of heat capacity of cadmium telluride as a function of temperature, and a new approximating equation is obtained for the most reliable data in the range from 298 K to the melting point of CdTe. This procedure is compared to other known methods of simultaneous processing of C p (T) data. It is demonstrated that the values of heat capacity of CdTe recommended by us agree with reliably determined coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of this compound. The characteristic Debye temperature of cadmium telluride is estimated in a wide temperature range, and the pattern of its variation with temperature is analyzed.
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.
