Abstract

Accurate low-temperature specific heat measurements, together with structural investigations, have been performed in V-Ga alloys with 18–32% Ga and V-Si alloys with 20–27% Si. Calculations of the temperature dependence of the normal electronic specific heat are presented for different band models. The comparison with experiment suggests that very low degeneracy temperatures are indeed characteristic of both V3Ga and V3Si.
