Abstract

The specific heat of the KTiOPO4 crystal has been measured with a vacuum adiabatic calorimeter within the 80–300 K range. A peak-shaped anomaly in the specific heat indicating a phase transition has been revealed in the C p (T) curve at T≅279 K. Numerical integration of smoothened experimental C p (T) curves yielded the thermodynamic functions of KTiOPO4, namely, the entropy, enthalpy, and reduced Gibbs energy. The entropy and enthalpy of the observed transition have been determined.
