Abstract

The temperature dependences of the heat capacity for Cs2NaNdCl6 and of the unit cell parameters for Cs2NaNdCl6 and Cs2NaPrCl6 have been investigated over a wide temperature range including the temperature at which the phase transition Oh5-C4h5 occurs. Analysis of the results has been performed in terms of thermodynamic theory. The coefficients of the thermodynamic potential expansion and the values of the tilt angles of B3+Cl6 octahedra have been determined.
