Abstract: | The specific heats of ThP and the solid solution UP0.5As0.5 have been measured in the temperature range 5–300 K. While ThP has a regularC
p
(T) behavior, the mixed compound exhibits several low-temperature anomalies. An analysis of the experimental data for UP0.5As0.5 and reanalysis of previously published heat capacity results for UP have been performed. The temperature dependence of the magnetic entropy, which at 300 K reaches a value close toR ln 4 for both species, confirms the U3+ state for uranium atoms in these compounds. The value of the electronic heat capacity coefficient
p
in the paramagnetic state has also been extracted from the experimental data. It is far smaller than the respective low-temperature value (0). |
