Abstract

The specific heat of a nominally 99.999% pure nickel single crystal has been measured to within $ε = 10^{- 5}$ . The measurements are consistent with power-law descriptions over almost four decades in $ε$ both above and below $T_{c}$ . It is found that $α^{'} = - 0.262 \pm 0.060$ and $α = 0.104 \pm 0.050$ .
