Pressure dependence of the specific heat of CeAl/sub 3/

The specific heat (C) of the heavy-fermion compound CeAl/sub 3/ has been measured between 0.3 and 20/sup 0/K at pressures to 8.2 kbar. A very strong and nonlinear dependence of C on pressure is observed. The maximum in C/T, which is a prominent feature of zero pressure measurements, disappears under pressure.
