Abstract

An experimental technique allowing the achieving of a considerable supercooling of liquid Ni inside a conventional DSC calorimeter was developed. The key feature of the technique is avoiding the heterogeneous nucleation by coating the sample’s surface with a thin oxide layer. The technique developed allowed measuring the enthalpy of crystallization and calculating the heat capacity and the Gibbs energy of pure Ni.
