Temperature dependence of decagonal quasicrystals heat capacity
Journal Title: Journal of Physics and Electronics - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The heat capacity of decagonal quasicrystals of the Al–Co–Cu or Al–Co–Ni alloys was calculated at the temperatures of 600, 700, and 900 K in this work. The expression for the heat capacity of the quasicrystals was obtained based on the Debye model. For the quasicrystals, the linear “excessive” heat capacity is observed in the range of temperatures between 400 to 600 К which means the deviation from the 3R Dulong-Petit value. The heat capacity at a temperature of 900 К is about 28.4 J/mol К which is higher than the Dulong-Petit value (~ 25 J/mol К). The “excessive” heat capacity relates to the peculiarities in the decagonal quasicrystal anisotropy. These crystals are quasiperiodic in the x and y directions, and periodic in the z direction. As a result, there is a difference in the dispersive laws in the different directions. The Debye temperature values have essential influence on the temperature dependencies of the heat capacity of the decagonal quasicrystals. Thus, the higher the Debye temperature and the larger “excessive” heat capacity, the more stable are considered the quasicrystals exposed to the temperature effects.
