The Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of formation of holmium silicides HoSi28211;a (HoSi1.82), HoSi28211;b (HoSi1.67), Ho3Si4, HoSi, HoSi18211;x (HoSi0.98), Ho5Si4, and Ho5Si3 are determined by the electromotive force method. The heat capacity and enthalpy of HoSi1.67 in the temperature range 558211;2007 K are measured with adiabatic and mixing calorimetry. The enthalpy and entropy of α → β polymorphic transformation and melting of HoSi1.67 are established. Temperature dependences of the heat capacity, enthalpy, and entropy of HoSi and Ho5Si3 are evaluated based on the behavior of heat capacity of mono- and lower silicides of rare-earth metals and their melting enthalpies in the series from La to Lu.
