Specific-heat measurements on single-crystalline samples of U ( Pt 1− x Pd x )3 ( x = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10) reveal anomalously large values for c/T at low temperatures. The data for UPt 3 have previously been analyzed by making use of the enhanced value of the low-temperature Grüneisen parameter. By this analysis, the heavy-electron contribution to the specific heat has been separated from the normal part that is largely due to the phonon term. Taking this latter term to be the same for all three compounds, the heavy-electron contribution has been evaluated for temperatures below 20 K. This contribution is compared with a spin-1/2 Kondo-type of specific heat. The resulting curves for the x = 0.00 and x = 0.10 alloys are very similar and mainly differ in the temperature at which the maximum is found. The effect of an applied magnetic field within the hexagonal plane, however, shifts the maximum to lower temperatures for x = 0.00 whereas for x = 0.10 a shift towards higher temperatures is found.

An extensive numerical study on specific heat at constant volume (Cv) for ordered and isotopically disordered lattices has been made. Cv at various temperatures for ordered and disordered linear and two-dimensional lattices have been compared and no appreciable difference in Cv between these two structures has been observed. Effect of concentration of light atoms on Cv for three-dimensional isotopically disordered lattices has also been shown.In spite of taking next-nearest-neighbour interaction into account, no substantial change in Cv between the ordered and isotopically disordered linear lattices has been found. It is shown that the low lying modes contribute substantially at low temperatures.

Abstract Specific heat is a fundamental property that relates the total heat per unit mass added to a system to the resultant temperature change of the system. This chapter begins with the definition and historical development of specific heat. Thermodynamic and solid state relationships are presented which include discussions about lattice specific heat and the effects of magnetic and superconducting transitions. Data sources for practical applications and methods of estimating specific heat for materials are also included. The chapter concludes with a section concerning the measurement of specific heat at low temperatures.
