We present specific heat and thermal expansion coefficient measurements of the layered iron-based superconductor YFe2Ge2 down to 40 mK and in magnetic field. A new generation of crystals [1] with residual resistivity ratios larger than 500 and Tc = 1.2 K have been investigated. These crystals display a sharp superconducting anomaly in both specific heat and thermal expansion. From the jump magnitudes and using the Ehrenfest relation we derive a small positive pressure dependence of Tc, dTc/dp = 24.4 mK/GPa. Despite the high purity of the crystals, the residual Sommerfeld coefficient is relatively large γ0 ≈ 40 mJ/K2mol, i.e., less than about half of the value in the normal state (100 mJ/K2mol). The field dependences of γ0(B) and its respective coefficient in thermal expansion α0(B) are analyzed within the frame of two gap scenario.
