Specific heat of superconducting Pd H alloys
CA Mackliet, DJ Gillespie, AI Schindler - Solid State Communications, 1974 - Elsevier
The low temperature specific heat of a series of superconducting Pd-H alloys (H Pd∼ 0.83 5–
0.87 5) has been measured; broad yet very pronounced peaks whose widths are a function
of hydrogen concentration are observed. An interesting scaling feature and a theoretical
fitting of the data are discussed. A few results of some associated electrical resistance
measurements are mentioned, and the possible role of Fe impurities in suppressing
superconductivity in Pd H alloys is considered.
