Heat capacity and enthalpy of Lu5Ge3 at 57-2355 K

The thermal capacity and enthalpy of Lu5Ge3 have been examined over a wide temperature range. Low-temperature thermal-capacity measurements have been used to calculate the enthalpy, entropy, and reduced Gibbs energy of the germanide under standard conditions. The coefficients in the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions have been determined for the interval 298.15-2355 K. The melting point and enthalpy and entropy of melting of the compound have been determined.
