Experimental method to determine specific heat capacity and transition enthalpy at a first-order phase transition: Fundamentals and application to a Ni-Mn-In Heusler alloy

A new method that characterizes thermal properties during a first-order phase transition is described. The technique consists in exciting the sample by a series of constant frequency thermal pulses which one in every N pulses –N is a small number like four—being exceedingly large in amplitude. This...
