Abstract
We present specific heat and susceptibility data on Sm(La,Sr)CuO4 in magnetic fields up to 9 T and temperatures down to 100 mK. We find a broad peak in specific heat which is insensitive to magnetic field at a temperature of 1.5 K with a value of 2.65 J/mol K. The magnetic susceptibility at 5 T continues to increase down to 2 K, the lowest temperature measured. The data suggest that the Sm spin system may be an ideal realization of the frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square lattice.
