Popis: The specific heat of 14 samples of the spin-density-wave alloy system Cr 1− x Mn x (0⩽ x ⩽19.4% Mn) were measured over the temperature range, 1.8⩽ T ⩽10 K. The electron specific heat coefficient γ ( x ) was found to change little from the value for pure Cr, γ ≈1.3 mJ/mole K 2 , until it increases to ≈2 mJ/mole K 2 around x ≈7% Mn, and then again to ≈5 mJ/mole K 2 around x ≈12% Mn, with further monotonic increase up to the highest concentration. This behavior parallels that of the magnetic properties measured previously in the same samples, and in particular the Curie constant (the alloys show Curie–Weiss behavior for x >7% Mn) and the differential susceptibility both increase rapidly around x ≈12% Mn.
