Low-temperature specific heat ofMoSi2

Abstract
We report specific-heat measurements on a single crystal of MoSi2 between 0.2 and 7 K. (γ=0.57 mJ/mol K2, FTHETAD≃500 K.) The electronic contribution is in good agreement with other band-structure determinations. The lattice contribution is compared with sound-velocity measurements also reported and is discussed.
