The results of specific heat measurements on ordered In −51.67 at.% Mg are presented. A superconducting transition was seen at about 0.95 K. In the normal state, the lattice specific heat varies in the usual way with temperature, i.e., the Debye temperature initially decreases with increasing temperature. This behavior was also seen in ordered equiatomic CuPt but in ordered equiatomic CuAu I the Debye temperature first goes through a maximum before decreasing to the usual minimum. The structure of all three alloys consists of alternating layers of different mass and it was initially supposed that the CuAu I result was a two-dimensional effect. However, the more recent and normal results on InMg and CuPt make this improbable and it appears that the CuAu I result is related to the behavior of pure gold which is itself anomalous.

The specific heat of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O y has been measured using non-adiabatic method between 10 K and 130 K. No specific heat jump related to superconducting transition was observed around T c . This may be due to the defects and disorder of atoms existed in the single crystal.

Thermal expansion of MgB 2 at normal state is measured experimentally in the temperature range 300–400 K. Lattice and electronic contribution to the thermal expansion is determined from the Gruneisen relation using electronic and lattice specific heat. This is compared with the low temperature measurements for predicting superconducting transition.

AbstractWe report the evolution of nematic fluctuations in FeSe1−xSx single crystals as a function of Sulfur content x across the nematic quantum critical point (QCP) xc ~ 0.17 via Raman scattering. The Raman spectra in the B1g nematic channel consist of two components, but only the low energy one displays clear fingerprints of critical behavior and is attributed to itinerant carriers. Curie–Weiss analysis of the associated nematic susceptibility indicates a substantial effect of nemato-elastic coupling, which shifts the location of the nematic QCP. We argue that this lattice-induced shift likely explains the absence of any enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature at the QCP. The presence of two components in the nematic fluctuations spectrum is attributed to the dual aspect of electronic degrees of freedom in Hund’s metals, with both itinerant carriers and local moments contributing to the nematic susceptibility.
