Abstract

A method of the direct measurement of the temperature coefficient of specific heat (TCSH), based on a modulation principle is proposed. The temperature dependence of the specific heat of a sample results in non‐sine like temperature oscillations, which is detected by the harmonic analysis. The measurements of the TCSH of tungsten from 2000 to 3600 K are in good agreement with the previously obtained specific heat data [1] which were interpreted as related to the vacancy formation in a crystal lattice. The proposed method can be used for studying the point defect formation in equilibrium and, possibly, for studying the specific heat singularities at the second‐order phase transitions.
