Abstract

We report the results of the study of thermodynamic properties for layered perovskite-like ferrites GdSrFeO4 and Gd2SrFe2O7. Isobaric heat capacity of the compounds was measured in an adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range of 5–368 K. Low-temperature heat capacity anomalies were observed in the heat capacity curves of both compounds. Standard thermodynamic properties: molar heat capacity C p,m(T), reduced enthalpy ΔH m(T), entropy S m(T), and reduced Gibbs energy Φ m(T) of the oxides, were evaluated from the experimental heat capacity temperature dependence over the range of 25–370 K.
