Abstract

Abstract For the first time the thermodynamic functions for boron nitride and carbon were defined in the temperature range 300 to 4000K by a computational procedure which was impossible in the previous empirical approach. This involved the application of the theoretical functions from Refs. 1, 2, and 3. There the temperature dependence of the heat capacity is characterized by a sum of two Debye functions that reflect the contribution of vibration modes of different characteristic temperature to the heat capacity. The above-mentioned theoretical functions make it possible to calculate the thermodynamic function without allowing for the anharmonic effect in the temperature range rather wider th-an the one wherein the initial experiments were conducted. It is sufficient for their computation to define Debye characteristic temperatures. One of the procedures of their calculation using experimental enthalpy data is described in Ref. 4. Besides, this work contains the majority of known experimental and theoreti...
