Specific heat of amorphous bismuth and gallium below 1 K

  • 1. Karlsruhe Univ. (TH) (Germany, F.R.). Physikalisches Inst.

Description

The lattice heat capacity of amorphous Bi84Sb16-films and Ga95Ag5-films have been measured down to 0.2 K. Below about 0.4 K a contribution appears which is linear in T. We ascribe this contribution to low energy excitations well known for amorphous materials. The contributions amount to 259T μJ/mole K for Bi and to 50T μJ/mole K for Ga. (orig.)
