Tóm tắt

The thermal properties of La1−x A x CoO3 (A = Ca, Ba and 0.0≤x≤0.3) for temperature (1 K≤T≤300 K) have been investigated using the Modified Rigid ion model (MRIM) with pair wise interionic interaction potential. The temperature dependent (1 K≤T≤300 K) variation of specific heat and thermal expansion for La1−x A x CoO3 (A = Ca, Ba and 0.0≤x≤0.3) has presented proper interpretation of the experimental data. Also the effect of lattice distortions on the thermal properties of these perovskite cobaltates has been studied by an atomistic approach. In addition, the results on the cohesive energy (ϕ), molecular force constant (f), Reststrahlen frequency (υ), Debye temperature (θ D ) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) are also discussed.
