I am looking to characterise the themodynamic properties of the thiospinel mineral carrollite (CuCo2S4) in order to conduct a theoretical thermodynamic modelling exercise. I have well characterised carrollite mineral specimen, and need to find a laboratory that can test this mineral phase for its entropy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy etc. Any ideas on which laboratories/research groups conduct this type of work (e.g., adiabatic calorimetry), and which would be the best one to approach?
Dear Bjorn Von der Heyden this is a very interesting technical question. Personally I would suggest to search directly on RG for researchers working in this field. You could for example search for terms like "thermodynamics of sulfide minerals" or "adiabatic calorimetry" and then click on "Researchers":
https://www.researchgate.net/search.Search.html?type=researcher&query=thermodynamics%20of%20sulfide%20minerals
Alternatively you clould click on "Publications" and see who authored recent relevant publications related to this topic. In any case I think that RG is a very good source of information regarding your question.
Good luck and best wishes!
