摘要
The specific heat of four samples of the 81 K-superconductor Yba2Cu4O8 prepared under high oxygen pressure is investigated. The low-temperature specific heat is sample-dependent. For the most homogeneous sample, the coefficient of the linear term at T ≪ Tc is γ*=4.9±0.2mJ/(K2mole) and the initial Debye temperature is θ (0)=350±10K. A small specific heat jump Δ C/ Tc=12 to 16 mJ/(K2mole) is observed at the superconducting transition; it is only weakly correlated with the field cooling Meissner fraction (14 to 55% in 20 Oe). A tentative separation of the total specific heat into electron and phonon terms is obtained by a least-squares fit of high-temperature data using a model of the phonon density of states. The electron contribution is found to be much smaller than for YBa2CU3O7. Thermochemical data are tabulated. © 1990.
