Abstract

We have measured the nuclear specific heat of a 0.79 mole thallium sample of 5 N+ purity in the temperature range 70 µK≤T≤20 mK and in magnetic fields from 20 mT≤B≤228 mT. The experimental results agree with the theoretical expectation for the specific heat of a nuclear paramagnet with the properties of Tl. Our results for the nuclear specific heat imply that the static properties of bulk Tl seem to differ from the dynamic, surface-sensitive properties of Tl samples investigated in former nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.
