Abstract

The recently developed photopyroelectric spectroscopy (P2ES) has been used to investigate phase transitions in solids. In our variable temperature experiments, specific heat curves for Rochelle Salt and V2O4 powders were obtained and found in good agreement with results obtained previously via more experimentally involved methods.
