Abstract
We have measured the specific heat down to 1.5 K of a collection of high-quality single crystals of κ-(ETCu(NCS in fields parallel to the crystalline direction to 12.5 T. In this first determination of γ, we find γ to be 25±3 mJ/ mole. The anomaly in C at is quite distinct when compared to normal-state data obtained by suppressing with field. The value of ΔC/γT>2 obtained implies that this organic superconductor has strong coupling.
