Field Dependence of the Specific Heat of Single-Crystalline ZrZn₂ — •A. Faißt¹, C. Pfleiderer¹, M. Uhlarz¹, H. v. Löhneysen^1,2, S. M. Hayden³, and G. G.

We present measurements of the specific heat C of a single crystal of ZrZn₂ in the range 2 K to 30 K, in an applied magnetic field B up to 14 T. For B=0 and low temperature (T<7K) the specific heat varies as C≈ γ T+β T³ , where γ ≈ 45  mJ/mol K² and β corresponds to a Debye temperature Θ _D≈ 340 K in agreement with earlier work. Magnetic field reduces γ by up to 30 % at 14 T. The variation of γ with B is compared with predictions of a self-consistent model of the magnetic equation of state, where phenomenological parameters are taken from the DC magnetization and neutron scattering.
