Abstracts

EN

An investigation of the magnetic heat capacity of the heavy-fermion compound YbCu_4Ni up to 0.4 K is presented. The novel compound LuCu_4Ni, isotypic with YbCu_4Ni has been synthesized and characterized, and its heat capacity was measured in order to subtract the lattice contribution from the previously measured heat capacity data of YbCu_4Ni.
