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.

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.

We investigate the fluctuation contribution to the specific heat of a two-dimensional superconductor with a non-Fermi normal state described by a Anderson Green's function [Formula: see text]. The specific heat corrections contain a term proportional to [Formula: see text] and another logarithmic one. We define a coherence length as function of the non-Fermi paramter α, which shows that a crossover study between BCS and Bose-Einstein condensation is possible by varying the non-Fermi parameter α.

ABSTRACTWe have measured the specific heat of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 from 4 to 14 K. The superconducting transition at 9.4 K is observed in zero applied magnetic field and in a field of 0.3 T. Both the magnitude of the change in Cp at Tc and the temperature dependence of Cp below Tc indicate a strong coupling superconductor. If the lattice specific heat is assumed to contain contributions due to the eighteen vibrational degrees of freedom, the phonon contribution to the specific heat in our temperature range can be represented by a Debye integral expression with a Debye temperature of 95 K. A model of collective modes suggesting the origin of the eighteen degrees of freedom is presented.

We predict two new molybdenum boride monolayers as phonon-mediated superconductors with superconducting transition temperatures of 3.9 and 0.2 K.
