A brief review is presented of contemporary ways of estimating heat capacity and determining their main advantages and disadvantages. Incremental schemes that predict the temperature dependences of heat capacity are considered in detail. Results of estimating the heat capacity of (InAs)1–x(GaAs)x solid solutions using specially selected mixing rules are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
