Low-temperature differential-thermal analysis to measure variations in entropy

preprint2007arXivOpen access

Abstract

We describe how we can precisely measure variations in the entropy S of small solid samples below room temperature, as a function the temperature T or the external magnetic field H, respectively. A simple differential-thermal analysis (DTA) technique allows, in principle, for the measurement of variations in S without any instrumental broadening of the data. The method is particularly well suited for the detection of sharp phase transitions in samples of milligram size.
