by solid-state reaction route and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction method. The
standard molar heat capacities of these oxides were measured in the temperature range
125–850 K using differential scanning calorimetry. Since, the deviation from additive oxide
was found to be insignificant, the low temperature values were extrapolated to 0 K using
Debye extrapolation method and smoothed heat capacities data for temperature range 0 …
