ABSTRACTFrom the Raman spectra and related inferences from low temperature specific heat data, Sokolov and coworkers have established that the ratio of the quasielastic and vibrational contributions at low temperatures (5∼10K) up to Tg correlates well with the degree of fragility and β of the glass-former. As pointed out by Sokolov (see his contribution in this Volume) such a correlation between the fast dynamics and structural a-relaxation at Tg(i.e., m and β) is intriguing, since at and below Tg, the α-relaxation time τα is more than twelve orders of magnitude longer than the quasielastic contribution and the boson peak. We show in this paper how the Coupling Model (CM) may provide an explanation for this correlation.

We show specific heat data in magnetic fields to B = 8T on new polycrystals with different oxygen content and compare them with earlier results. The analysis reveals a field dependent residual linear term which is discussed within theoretical models of Bulaevskii and for a spin-glass.

ABSTRACTYBa2Cu3O7−x has been synthesized by two chemical ways, one from oxalate coprecipitation, the other one from metalloorganic decomposition. Superconducting properties of the resulting samples have been checked by means of resistivity and magnetic measurements. Low temperature specific heat data allow to propose an explanation to the residual linear term.

Cu4O(SeO3)3 is a copper-oxo-selenite belonging to the CuxO(SeO3)(x–1) family of the topological chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3. We report magnetometry and specific heat data measured in a monoclinic Cu4O(SeO3)3 single crystal grown through a Chemical Vapour Transport (CVT) reaction. Our study shows a typical antiferromagnetic behaviour, with a Néel temperature TN = 58 K, similar to that of the Cu2OSeO3 and an additional transition at 13 K. The effective magnetic moment per Cu atom is 1.84 μB, close to the expected theoretical value for Cu2+. The low-temperature M(H) curves, show a transition starting at Hc1 ~ 400 Oe at 1.8 K shifting to a lower value of ~ 280 Oe at 30 K, likely from a helical into a conical intermediate phase, and a second transition at Hc2 ~ 1 kOe, above which the net moment increases linearly with applied field. The magnetisation moment value in a 90 kOe field is 0.053 μB/Cu at 1.8 K and attains a maximum value of 0.061 μB at 13 K. Low-temperature specific heat measurements confirm the presence of the magnetic transition at 13 K, slightly shifting to lower temperatures under an applied magnetic field.

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.
