Resistance Minimum of Magnesium: Heat Capacity between 3°K and 13°K

Heat capacities were measured for two samples of slightly impure magnesium identical with those whose transport properties have been measured. Although the samples exhibit markedly different transport properties, any systematic difference in their specific heats was found to be less than 5% in the range of measurement. Atomic heat values were in agreement with earlier measurements on pure Mg in this temperature range.
