Abstract

The heat capacity Cp of samples La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 and YBa2Cu3O7 has been measured from 1.5 to 40 K, and the linear thermal expansivity α of La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 measured in the range 2 to 80 K. The heat capacities show similar temperature dependencies and magnitudes (per gram) with a linear (tunneling?) term dominating below 4 K. α also shows a comparable T term below 4 K and both Cp and α show a small discontinuity of ≈ 1% near Tc≈34 K.
