Contributions To The Specific Heat Capacity Of Nickel, Iron, And The Alloy Ni3Fe, Thomas Gilman Kollie

Doctoral Dissertations

The specific heat capacity at constant pressure C_p of a ferromagnetic solid is assumed separable into six contributions - that due to the dilation of the lattice C_d, that due to the harmonic oscillations of the atoms C_vh, that due to the anharmonic oscillations of the electrons C_va, that due to changes in energy distributions of the electrons C_ve, that due to changes in the magnetic coupling among the electrons C_vm, and that due to atomic rearrangements C_vw. Expressions appearing in the literature for these contributions, which …
