Abstract
NdMCr2O5 (M = Na, K, Cs) and NdMgCr2O5.5 are prepared by solid-state reactions between appropriate oxides and carbonates and are shown to have a tetragonal structure. The heat capacity of these chromites, measured from 298.15 to 673 K, exhibits sharp changes attributable to second-order phase transitions. The C p 0(T) data are represented by quadratic best fit equations. The electrical resistivity of the chromites is measured between 303 and 493 K. The results attest to semiconducting behavior of the materials in certain temperature ranges.
