Abstract
We confirmed bulk-superconductivity of a ferromagnet UGe2 by the specific heat measurement, together with the measurements of the electrical resistivity and ac susceptibility, in a pressure range from p = 1.0 to 1.5 GPa, where the Curie temperature TC( = 22-36 K) is still high, but another characteristic temperature T* is close to zero. In this pressure range, the heavy fermion state is found to be formed at low temperatures.Keywords
