Abstract
We have investigated the specific heat, thermal expansion and thermodynamic properties of BaRuO3 in rhombohedral, hexagonal and cubic phase using the modified rigid ion model (MRIM) by incorporating the effect of lattice distortions. The calculated Debye temperature, specific heat and other thermal properties reproduce well with the available experimental data, implying that MRIM represents properly the nature of the perovskite-type BaRuO3. Besides, we have reported the thermal expansion (α), bulk modulus (B), cohesive energy (ϕ), molecular force constant (f), Reststrahlen frequency (υ), Debye temperature (θ D), and Gruneisen parameter (γ).
