| Abstract: | The specific heat of C-phase (almost cubic) Gd2O3 has been measured between 1.4 and 18 K. It shows a broad peak at 2.0 K. While the peak can be fit by a Schottky specific heat curve, the weight of all the experimental evidence to date indicates that the specific heat is due to magnetic ordering of the Gd+++ ions. The implications of the results on the technological applications of C-phase Gd2O3 are discussed. |
