Abstract—
The CaSm2Ge3O10 germanate has been prepared by firing stoichiometric mixtures of CaCO3, Sm2O3, and GeO2 in air in the temperature range 1423–1473 K. X-ray powder diffraction characterization with the use of the derivative difference minimization method has shown that CaSm2Ge3O10 has a monoclinic structure (sp. gr. P21/c, 293 К) with unit-cell parameters a = 6.9779(8) Å, b = 6.92859(7) Å, c = 18.8907(2) Å, and β = 108.3280(8)°. The high-temperature heat capacity of calcium samarium germanate samples has been determined in the temperature range 320–1000 K by differential scanning calorimetry and the experimental Cp(T) data have been used to evaluate thermodynamic properties of CaSm2Ge3O10.
