Anomalous heat capacity in LiAl near critical composition
Abstract
The heat capacity and electrical resistivity in the temperature range 77-300 K of the semimetallic compound LiAl are presented. A heat-capacity anomaly relating to an abrupt change in the resistivity at 95 K was observed near the critical composition corresponding to the Li-deficient region. Possible origins of anomalous behavior are discussed.
