536.631′722:546.662′23 Measurements have been made on the thermal capacity of γ-Gd 2 Se 3 at 58.88-298.34 K. Values have been obtained for the thermal capacity, entropy, reduced Gibbs energy, and enthalpy under standard conditions:The enthalpy of Gd 2 Se 3 has been measured and the major thermodynamic functions have been calculated for the solid and liquid states over the temperature range 450-2300 K. The temperature dependence of the enthalpy in the ranges 300-1800 K and 2000-2300 K are represented: H°(T) − H°(298.15 K) = = 1.1949 ⋅ 10 −2 ⋅ T 2 + 122.38 ⋅ T + 347402 ⋅ T −1 − 38716 and H°(T) − H°(298.15 K) = 262.81 ⋅ T − − 196047, respectively. The calculated temperature, enthalpy, and entropy of melting for Gd 2 Se 3 are: T m = 1925 ± 40 K, Δ m H°(Gd 2 Se 3 ) = 68.5 kJ ⋅ mole −1 , Δ m S°(Gd 2 Se 3 ) = 35.6 J ⋅ mole −1 ⋅ K −1 .
