Popis: Measurements of the heat capacity of ZnBr2 from T=10 to 300 K, as well as Raman, infrared, and x‐ray diffraction investigations reveal some very interesting features of this material. The unit cell (space group I41/acd) is large (Z=32), and composed of supertetrahadral Zn4Br10 subunits. The large unit cell and the large effective mass of the subunits, respectively, give rise to a rich vibrational spectrum and many low frequency modes. These have been used quantitatively to account for the unusually high heat capacity of ZnBr2 at low temperatures.
