Specific heat measurements of TiB2 and 6LiF from 0.5 to 30Â K

The specific heats of TiB2 and 6LiF have been measured from 0.5 to 30 K as part of a larger project in the construction of a neutron spectrometer. For this application, the measured specific heats were used to extrapolate the specific heats down to 0.1 K with lattice, electronic, and Schottky equations for the respective samples. The resultant specific heat values at 0.1 K for TiB2 and 6LiF are 4.08 × 10−4 ± 0.27 × 10−4 J/K/mol and 9.19 × 10−9 ± 0.15 × 10−9 J/K/mol, respectively.
