Description

The low-temperature specific heat csub(p) of single-crystalline samples of USb and UTe have been measured between 0.1 and 12 K. From the experimental data values are deduced for the electronic specific-heat parameter γ of 0.2 mJ/mole K2 and 10.3 mJ/mole K2 for USb and UTe, respectively. csub(p) data below 1 K reveal the onset of nuclear specific heat with decreasing temperature. In our temperature range, this contribution is much stronger for USb than for UTe. (author)
