Özet

This study gives our calculation for the specific heat using our Raman frequency shifts of the v(5) (174 cm(-1)) mode close to the tricritical (P = 1.6 kbar) and second order (P = 2.8 kbar) phase transitions in NH4Cl. For this calculation we use as the values of the critical exponent for the specific heat, a = 0.11 (T < T-c and T > T-c) for the tricritical (T-c = 257.17 K), and a = 0.18 (T < T-c), a = 0.64 (T > T-c) for the second order (T-c = 268 K) phase transitions, which we deduce from our analysis of the Raman frequency shifts of this mode studied here, on the basis of an Ising model.
