2.2. Relaxation calorimetry (PPMS)
Low-temperature heat capacities from 5 K to 300 K were measured
using a commercially available relaxation calorimeter (heat
capacity option of the PPMS by Quantum Design
). Pieces with
ca. 4 4 0.3 mm (50 mg) were polished and mounted onto
the calorimeter platform using Apiezon N grease. The measurements
were repeated if the sample coupling, a measure of the quality
of the thermal contact between sample and calorimeter
platform, was lower than 90% (for details of the relaxation technique,
see e.g., [32,33] and references therein). In such cases, the
surface of the Cu–Zn pieces was reprocessed until a good sample
coupling was achieved. It was found, however, that the PPMS measured
heat capacities do not depend on the sample coupling, as it is
the case when measuring oxide materials e.g., [34,35]. The accuracy
of the PPMS heat capacities from T = 100 K to 300 K and the
entropy at 298.15 K measured on single-crystal and sintered
powder samples were found to be better than 0.5% [36].
