Specific heat and thermal expansion measurements have been performed on Nd1−xLUxMn2 in the temperature range between 1.5K and 300K. Below 10K, anomalies are observed which are ascribed to a spin reorientation of the Nd sublattice. These anomalies are only slightly affected by the substitution of Nd by Lu. Large effects, however, are observed on the magnetic properties of the Mn sublattice. The antiferromagnetic order disappears for x exceeding 0.30. The data are analysed in terms of Grüneisen parameters. In the paramagnetic compound LuMn2, a spin-fluctuation contribution to the thermodynamic properties is observed. In the Nd-containing compounds, distinct contributions from the crystal field acting on the Nd ions can be distinguished. The variation of the magnetic properties of the Mn sublattice with the concentration of Lu is discussed.

We report here a microscopic theory of the temperature dependence of specific heat in high-Tc cuprate superconductors. The system is described by a model Hamiltonian consisting the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations due to the impurity f-electrons as well as the conduction electrons, besides the superconducting interaction due to the itinerant electrons. The Hamiltonian is treated within a mean-field approach. The transverse spin fluctuation parameters and the superconducting gap are calculated by Zubarev's Green's function technique and solved self-consistently. The temperature dependent specific heat is calculated from the free energy in order to study the anomalies appearing at the spin fluctuation and superconducting transition temperatures. The evolutions of these anomalies are studied by varying the model parameters of the systems and results are discussed in reference to experimental observations.
