A new method of utilizing a commercial silicon nitride membrane calorimeter to measure the latent heat at a first order phase transition is presented. The method is a direct measurement of the thermoelectric voltage jump induced by the latent heat, in a thermally isolated system ideally suited for single crystal and small microgram samples. We show that when combined with the ac calorimetry technique previously developed, the resultant thermal measurement capabilities are extremely powerful. We demonstrate the applicability of the combined method with measurements on a 100 microm size fragment of CoMnSi exhibiting a sizable magnetocaloric effect near room temperature, and obtain good agreement with previously reported values on bulk samples.
