The low temperature specific heats of three plutonium carbides

The low temperature specific heats of plutonium monocarbide and of two samples of plutonium sesquicarbide are reported. The monocarbide shows a small anomaly superimposed on the normal sigmoid form of the specific heat curve, associated with magnetic ordering at the Néel temperature of 45 K. The ses...

Zusammenfassung:The low temperature specific heats of plutonium monocarbide and of two samples of plutonium sesquicarbide are reported. The monocarbide shows a small anomaly superimposed on the normal sigmoid form of the specific heat curve, associated with magnetic ordering at the Néel temperature of 45 K. The sesquicarbides do not show magnetic ordering. The specific heats and derived entropies are given for comparison with other published data and with the high temperature data in the following paper.
