Abstract
The electronic specific heat coefficient was measured in the temperature range 1.4° to 4.2°K for 48 solid solution alloys in the following binary systems: Ti-V, V-Cr, V-Fe, Cr-Mn, Cr-Fe, and Fe-Co. The electronic specific heat vs electron concentration curves show three quite well separated regions of high density of states. The first of these occurs in alloys with atomic magnetic moments near zero. The second one is found in alloys which have increasing magnetic moments with increasing electron concentration, up to Fe+35% Co along the Pauling-Slater curve. The third region of high density of states extends from Fe+35% Co to the limit of the bcc solid solutions at Fe+75% Co, a range where the magnetic moment decreases with increasing electron concentration.Keywords
