Description

The heat capacity of La/sub 2-//sub x/Ba/sub x/CuO4 was investigated between 0.8 and 10 K. The linear temperature term γT of the heat capacity is absent in the antiferromagnetic-ordered region of x≤0.02. γ increases abruptly from x = 0.02 to x = 0.04 where the system is still insulating at low temperature, and seems to saturate at the order of 5 mJ/mol K2 in the superconducting region of x≥0.05. The correlation between magnetic order and vanishing γT term and the existence of a finite γT term for Ba doping give support to the resonating-valence-bond picture
