The temperature dependence of heat capacity of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 has been measured for the first time in the range from 7 to 346 K by precision adiabatic vacuum calorimetry. The experimental data were used to calculate standard thermodynamic functions, namely the heat capacity, enthalpy H o (T) -H o (0), entropy S o (T) -S o (0), and Gibbs function G o (T) -H o (0), in the range from T ? 0 to 346 K. The structure of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 is refined by the Rietveld method (space group Fmmm, Z = 4) at temperatures of 173, 273, 373, 473 K. Thermal deformation model is proposed on the basis of structural data.
