nice demonstration of a Schottky
hump, a maximum in heat capacity associated with a pair of low-lying energy
states in the atoms of a particular material, may be found in the article by
Burriel et al., Pure and Appli. Chem v. 67, pp. 1825-1830, 1995. I have extracted
the relevant section from that article for your personal use.
