Magnon Specific Heat of Single Crystal Borocarbides RNi2B2C (R=Tm, Er, Ho, Dy, Tb, Gd)

M. El Massalami, R. E. Rapp, F. A. B. Chaves +2

Zero-field specific heat of the single crystals RNi2B2C (R= Er, Ho, Dy, Tb, Gd) was measured within the temperature range 0.1 K<T<25 K. Linearized spin wave analysis was successful…
