Understanding thermal properties of materials is fundamental to technological applications and to discovering new phenomena. In particular, advances in experimental techniques such as cold-atom measurements allow the simulation of…
Specific heat measurements constitute one of the most powerful experimental methods to probe fundamental excitations in solids. After the proposition of Einstein's model, more than one century ago (Annalen der Physik \textbf{22}, 180…
Considering the thermodynamics of bosons in a lattice described by the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we report the occurrence of anomalous double peaks in their specific heat dependence on temperature. This feature, usually associated with a…
We report a high-precision numerical estimation of the critical exponent $\alpha$ of the specific heat of the random-field Ising model in four dimensions. Our result $\alpha = 0.12(1)$ indicates a diverging specific-heat behavior and is…
There are some particular one-dimensional models, such as the Ising-Heisenberg spin models with a variety of chain structures, which exhibit unexpected behaviors quite similar to the first and second order phase transition, which could be…
The low-temperature normal-state specific heat and resistivity curves of various nonmagnetic intermetallic compounds manifest an anomalous thermal evolution. Such an anomaly is exhibited as a break in the slope of the linearized C/T versus…
Experimental data obtained from thermodynamic measurements in underdoped high temperature superconductors show unusual anomalies in the temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat both in the normal state and at the critical…
Resistivity and specific heat have been measured on a single crystalline sample of the beta-pyrochlore oxide superconductor, KOs2O6. It is found that a second peak in specific heat, which may evidence an unknown phase transition, appears…
We study the specific heat of a model supercooled liquid confined in a spherical cavity with amorphous boundary conditions. We find the equilibrium specific heat has a cavity-size-dependent peak as a function of temperature. The cavity…
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is expected to have a clear signature on the specific heat. The singularity at the transition temperature $T_{BKT}$ is predicted to be immeasurable, and a broad non-universal peak is…
In this paper, we report the measurements of specific heat of an amorphous $Ti_{9.5}Si_{90.5}$ alloy located very close to the critical point of the metal-insulator transition. In the presence of a magnetic field, the specific heat is…
Characterizing the superconducting and superfluid transitions in two-dimensional (2D) many-body systems is of broad interest and remains a fundamental issue. In this study, we establish the {\it condensate fraction} as a highly effective…
We report the specific heat $c_N$ around the melting transition(s) of micrometer-sized superparamagnetic particles confined in two dimensions, calculated from fluctuations of positions and internal energy, and corresponding Monte Carlo…
Recent experiments on cuprates show that as a function of doping, the normal-state specific heat sharply peaks at the doping $\delta^*$, where the pseudogap ends at low temperature. This finding is taken as the thermodynamic signature of a…
In this paper we apply the exact solution of the sine-Gordon model to describe thermodynamic properties of the soliton liquid in the incommensurate phase of the double-layer quantum Hall systems. In this way we include thermal fluctuations…
Recently gigantic peaks in thermodynamic response functions have been observed at finite temperature for one-dimensional models with short-range coupling, closely resembling a second-order phase transition. Thus, we will analyze the finite…
We report specific heat measurements down to 0.4 K on the layered oxide Na$_x$CoO$_2\cdot\it{y}$H$_2$O/D$_2$O with 0 $\le$ $\it{x}$ $\le$ 0.74 and $\it{y}$ = 0 and 1.4. For the nonhydrated system ($\it{y}$ = 0), the electronic specific heat…

The specific heat of regular Ising polyhedra is investigated in detail as a function of temperature and magnetic field. It is shown that the regular Ising polyhedra display diverse double-peak temperature dependences of the specific heat…
Many frustrated spin models on three-dimensional (3D) lattices are currently being investigated, both experimentally and theoretically, and develop new types of long-range orders in their respective phase diagrams. They present…
