Abstract

Calorimetric methods which allow estimation of the point defect concentration in solids are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the calculation of defect parameters based on the analysis of excessive heat capacity, and to correlations between the thermodynamic parameters of melting and the energetic parameters of point defect formation. The applicability of the thermodynamic approach to the study of intrinsic disorder in solids is demonstrated.
