Abstract The successive phase transitions of BaZnGeO4 have been studied on meltsolidified samples. A new solid phase (named phase VI) has been found below 186.1 K in samples of large particle size (diameter:D≳0.1 mm). The higher temperature crystalline phase V can be supercooled easily down to liquid helium temperature. On heating, however, it transforms into phase VI above 95 K in a slow exothermic process. Heat capacities have been measured by adiabatic calorimetry between 14 and 300 K. The enthalpy and entropy of the V–VI phase transition are 187.1 Jmol−1 and 0.971 J K−1 mol−1, respectively. The corresponding data for the IV–V phase transition at 199.8 K are 229.3 J mol−1 and 1.168 JK−1 mol−1. The phase VI does not appear in samples of smaller particle size (D≲0.1 mm).
