Abstract
Specific heats of 3d transition metal intercalates of 1T-CdI2-type TiS2, M x TiS2 (M=V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni; 0≤x≤1), have been measured in the temperature range 1.6–300 K using an ac calorimetry technique. The electronic specific heat coefficient γ (2–100 mJ/mole K2) and the Debye temperature ϑD (240–430 K) are found to depend on the guest 3d metals and their concentrations. All the intercalates show anomalous specific heat at low temperatures following an α–δ lnT dependence (α and δ are constants), as found in dilute alloys.
