Popis: Reported is an experimental and computational investigation of the low temperature heat capacity, thermodynamic functions, and thermal conductivity of stoichiometric, polycrystalline CeO2. The experimentally measured heat capacity at T < 15 K provides an important correction to the historically accepted experimental values, and the low temperature thermal conductivity serves as the most comprehensive data set at T < 400 K available. Below 10 K, the heat capacity is observed to obey the Debye T3 law, with a Debye temperature of ΘD = 455 K. The entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy functions are obtained from the experimental heat capacity and compared with predictions from Hubbard-corrected density functional perturbation theory calculations using the Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof parameterization revised for solids. The thermal conductivity is determined using the Maldonado continuous measurement technique, along with laser flash analysis, and analyzed according to the Klemens-Callaway model.
