Scaling of the “Cp α T 1nT” dependence in Ce systems

Abstract We analyze the T 1n T dependnece of the specific heat ( C p ) in several Ce binaries and ternaries. We find that these systems can be directly compared by using a scaling law of the type: C p / t = − D log t + ET 0 , where t = T / T 0 , with the scaling temperature T 0 ∼ T K , D = 7.2 J(mol K) and 0 E 2 ). This general function describes those systems within the 0.005 t 1 2 of the expected entropy of the Ce-doublet.
