Figure 1A:
Normalized DSC-signals as a function of the temperature for an inorganic substance. Experimental data are represented as symbols, solid lines represent the calculated signals. The values of the heating rate in °C/min are marked on the curves.

Figure 1B:
Normalized DSC-signals as a function of time for an inorganic substance. Experimental data are represented as symbols, solid lines represent the calculated signals. The values of the heating rate in °C/min are marked on the curves.

In Figs. 1A-B, the experimental data of the DSC signals are presented and compared with the calculated curves. For each DSC scan, a tangential area-proportional baseline correction has been carried out. It is usually necessary to correct the measuring values of the baseline for all differential signal types, like DTA and/or DSC measurements. This is especially necessary when the reaction is characterized by a large difference of the specific heats of substrate and products.
