The ternary compound Cu8SiSe6 was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Based on the data of DSC curves for two samples with different masses, the temperature and enthalpy of the phase transition from the low-temperature orthorhombic modification to the high-temperature cubic modification were determined. Using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation, the entropy of the phase transition of the studied compound was also calculated.
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.
