In this work, we study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and structural phase transitions in single-crystal $BaF e_{2} {(A s_{1 - x} P_{x})}_{2} (x = 0, 0.3)$ at temperatures $T_{N}$ and $T_{S}$ , respectively, by high-resolution ac microcalorimetry and SQUID magnetometry. The specific heat measurements of both as-grown and annealed $BaF e_{2} A s_{2}$ display a sharp peak at the AFM-structural transitions. A kink in the entropy of annealed $BaF e_{2} A s_{2}$ gives evidence for splitting of the two transitions by approximately 0.5 K. No additional features could be identified in the specific heat of both $BaF e_{2} A s_{2}$ and $BaF e_{2} {(A s_{0.7} P_{0.3})}_{2}$ in the temperature regions around $T^{*} > T_{S}$ where torque measurements had revealed the “true” nematic phase transition, even though the Ginzburg-Landau model used to fit the magnetic torque data indicates that the expected thermal anomaly should be easily observable with our experimental resolution.
