Material Specification for ; [Y-Ni-B-C]
Process: Melt Processed
Notes: "Briefly, an annealed, single-phase button of arc-melted RENi2B2C is heated in flowing argon to 1490 °C with an equal mass of Ni2B, which acts as a flux. Cooling to 1200 °C at 10 °C/h, followed by furnace cooling to room temperature, produces single crystals that grow into the flux."

Measurement Method: Specific heat methods
"Specific heat above 1.5 K was measured using a standard decay method on at most four crystals with a total mass of 30-40 mg; whereas, lower temperature measurements were made using a semi-adiabatic technique." No additional measurement details were noted.
Cautions: Unevaluated Data
Digitized data were obtained from Figure 1 of the paper.
