Abstract

High precision measurements of the specific heat of germanium were carried out in the temperature region between 20°K and 200°K. Three samples of germanium were investigated: an extremely pure sample, one of intermediate purity (10¹⁸ impurity centers/cm³), and one with an addition of 0.006 atomic percent aluminum (2×10²⁰ impurity centers/cm³). No anomaly such as reported by Cristescu and Simon was found in any of the samples. However, a small dependence of the specific heat on the concentration of impurity centers was observed.
