✦ Synopsis


We have determmed the magnetic field dependence of the electron density of states at the Fermi level, NF(H), by specific heat measurements on single-crystal YBCO. The total specific heat includes contribunons from phonons and impurities, as well as the electronic specific heat. The electronic specific heat is best described by a model which includes two characteristics of d-wave superconductors: a T 2 term m zero field, and a linear term that corresponds to NF(H) oΒ’ (H/Hc2)I/2, as predicted by Volovik for superconductors with lines of nodes m the gap.

The specific heat of high-purity, sintered, YBa2Cu307-x powder has been measured. The lowtemperature specific heat had only a linear term (with a zero-field coefficient of 4.37 mJ mole K 2) and a cubic term (corresponding to a Debye temperature of 375 K); both terms varied with field. No Schottky pe
