Light elements in Earth's core play a key role in driving convection and influencing geodynamics, both of which are crucial to the geodynamo. However, the thermal transport properties of iron alloys at high-pressure and -temperature conditions remain uncertain.

The heat capacity of the perovskite BaUO3 has been measured by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) in the temperature range of 373-873 K. The results were consistent with the values calculated by Neumann-Kopp's law. By comparison with the C-p values estimated from the Debye temperature,
