Specific Heat in NpNiSn and NpIrSn
We present the specific-heat study of the electronic properties of NpIrSn and NpNiSn, crystallizing in
the ZrNiAl-type hexagonal and TiNiSi-type orthorhombic structure, respectively. NpIrSn orders antiferromagnetically
below TN = 38K and undergoes a further magnetic phase transition at T1 = 23.5K. The
-coefficient of the electronic specific heat is only moderately enhanced to 75mJ mol-1 K-2. ThIrSn, crystallizing
in the same structure, is used to estimate the lattice specific heat to analyze the magnetic part.
NpNiSn orders antiferromagnetically below TN = 35.5K. In both compounds the antiferromagnetic order
is not affected by magnetic fields up to 14 T.
