摘要:
The specific heat of NaV6O11 single crystal was investigated with an AC calorimeter. Lambda type anomalies at 64.3, 80.1 and 242.7 K were observed. It is found that the transition temperature of the P6(3)/mmc - P6(3)mc structural transition is 242.7 K, which has been reported to occur at a temperature between 200 K and room temperature. The anomalies at 64.3 and 242.7 K coincide well with the two magnetic transitions previously reported. Present specific heat study coupled with single crystal X-ray diffraction data reveals that the P6(3)mc - Cmc2(1) structural transition occurs at 80.1 K and accompanies the kink in the resistivity. Previous study reported that the P6(3)mc - Cmc2(1) structural transition occurs at 35-40 K, however no anomaly in the specific heat was observed at 35-40 K in this study.
