We report results of specific heat measurements on polycrystalline samples of the layered superconductor, Na(0.3)CoO(2).1.3H(2)O. The electronic contribution to the specific heat, gamma, is found to be 12.2 mJ/mol-K2. The feature at the…
Comprehensive low-temperature specific heat data C(T,H) of Na_0.35CoO2-1.3H_2O with temperature T down to 0.6 K and the magnetic field H up to 8 T are presented. For the normal state, the values of gamma_n=13.94 mJ/mol K2, and Debye…
We present a simple model for the doped compound $Nd_{2-y}Ce_{y}CuO_{4}$, in order to explain some recent experimental results on the latter. Within a Hartree-Fock context, we start from an impurity Anderson-like model and consider the…
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…
A strong increase of the thermal conductivity is observed at the phase transition (Tc =18.2 K) in Cu2Te2O5Cl2 single crystal. This behavior is compared with that of spin- Peierls system NaV2O5, where similar experimental observation has…
We report a low-temperature specific heat study of high-quality single crystals of the heavily hole doped superconductor Ca$_{0.32}$Na$_{0.68}$Fe$_2$As$_2$. This compound exhibits bulk superconductivity with a transition temperature $T_c…
Comprehensive studies of the low-temperature specific heat C(T,H) in NaxCoO2-yH2O are presented. At H=0, a very sharp anomaly was observed at T=4.7 K indicating the existence of bulk superconductivity. There exists the T^2 term in C(T,H=0)…
The specific heat of (Na,Ca)Co_{2}O_{4} is measured at low-temperatures to determine the magnitude of the electronic specific-heat coefficient \gamma, in an attempt to gain an insight into the origin of the unusually large thermoelectric…
We present the results of a study of specific heat on a single crystal of Pr$_{0.63}$Ca$_{0.37}$MnO$_3$ performed over a temperature range 3K-300K in presence of 0 and 8T magnetic fields. An estimate of the entropy and latent heat in a…
Single crystals of Frank-Kasper compounds RTM$_2$Al$_{20}$ (R = Eu, Gd and La; TM = V and Ti) were grown by self-flux method and their physical properties were investigated through magnetization ($M$), magnetic susceptibility ($\chi$),…
We present specific heat data on three samples of the dilute Ising magnet $\HoYLF$ with $x = 0.018$, 0.045 and 0.080. Previous measurements of the ac susceptibility of an $x = 0.045$ sample showed the Ho$^{3+}$ moments to remain dynamic…
The specific heats of three samples of Na0.35CoO2,1.3H2O show an evolution of the superconductivity, and its ultimate disappearance, with increasing sample age. An overall increase in pair-breaking action, which occurs preferentially in an…
We report on a zero magnetic field transport study of a two-dimensional, variable-density, hole system in GaAs. As the density is varied we observe, for the first time in GaAs-based materials, a crossover from an insulating behavior at…
Electrical transport and specific heat properties of Nd_{1-x}Pb_{x}MnO_{3} single crystals for 0.15 < x 0.5 have been studied in low temperature regime. The resistivity in the ferromagnetic insulating (FMI) phase for x < 0.3 has an…
The sodium rhodate NaRh2O4 was synthesized for the first time and characterized by neutron and x-ray diffraction studies, measurements of magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, electrical resistivity, and the Seebeck coefficient. NaRh2O4…
The Pr(1-x}CaxMnO3 system exhibits a ferromagnetic insulating state for the composition range x<0.25. A metallic ferromagnetic state is never realized because of the low hole concentration and the very small averaged A-site cation radius.…
We have performed specific heat and electric resistivity measurements of Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ ($x=0.70$-0.78). Two anomalies have been observed in the specific heat data for $x=0.78$, corresponding to magnetic transitions at $T_{c}=22$ K and…
The hyperkagome antiferromagnet Na$_{4}$Ir$_3$O$_8$ represents the first genuine candidate for the realisation of a three-dimensional quantum spin-liquid. It can also be doped towards a metallic state, thus offering a rare opportunity to…
The ionic conduction properties of the technologically important two-dimensional (2D) layered battery material Na2Mn3O7, with exceptional small-voltage hysteresis between charge and discharge curves, have been investigated as a function of…
Electron Spin Resonance and optical reflectivity measurements demonstrate a metal-insulator transition in Na_2CsC_60 as the system passes from the low temperature simple cubic to the high temperature {\it fcc} structure above 300 K. The…
