Abstract
The specific heat of the ceramic and the permittivity of a single-crystal sample of LaBSiO5, a new ferroelectric in the stilwellite family, were measured in a temperature range which includes the phase transition point (TC=140 °C). The excess entropy of the phase transition ΔS=1.05 J/mol · K and the Curie-Weiss constant CC-W=3.2×103 K were determined. The results indicate that the phase transition in this crystal is of a “mixed” nature and exhibits features of a displacement-type transition and an order-disorder transition.
