The low-temperature specific heat of YMn2 has been measured at applied pressures of 0 to 7.7 kbar. A paramagnetic state is stabilized for moderate values of the applied pressure (of the order of 1.6 kbar). A large linear term in the specific heat, which decreases regularly with increasing pressure, is observed in this phase. It is ascribed to giant spin fluctuations associated with a magnetic-non magnetic instability and a strong geometrical spin frustration.

We performed low-temperature specific heat measurements on slightly underdoped samples of monolayer cuprate superconductors [Formula: see text] (Ln = La, Eu, Ln-Bi2201) under magnetic fields [Formula: see text]. In La-Bi2201, the coefficient [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]-linear term in the electronic specific heat [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] shows [Formula: see text] dependence, as expected in [Formula: see text] -wave superconductors. In Eu-Bi2201, [Formula: see text] shows almost the same [Formula: see text] dependence as that of La-Bi2201 below [Formula: see text] T, while [Formula: see text] is suppressed above [Formula: see text] T and deviates downward from the [Formula: see text] curve of La-Bi2201. This result suggests the the gap and the electronic excitation spectrum near nodes are modified in Eu-Bi2201 except the region of the Fermi surface in the immediate vicinity of nodes.
