Specific heat studies of the organic superconductors k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br and k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2

The measurement of specific heat provides unique information concerning the superconducting state. It has the advantage over many other techniques as in that it is a bulk thermodynamic probe and as such is relatively insensitive to the presence of minority impurity phases. For this thesis, two calor...
