Specific heat of a high-T c perovskite superconductor YBa2Cu3O8−δ

Abstract
Specific heat measuremnts on high transition temperature perovskite superconductor were conducted from 5.3 K to 345 K. The sample was prepared by mixing stoichiometric amounts of Yttrium oxide, BaO, and CuO so as to yield a 1:2:3 ratio of metals. T he decrease in specific heat at the transition temperature ‐ 91 K is discussed.(AIP)
