Field-dependent specific heat of the canonical underdoped cuprate superconductor $$\hbox {YBa}_2\hbox {Cu}_4\hbox {O}_8$$ YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8

Abstract The cuprate superconductor $$\hbox {YBa}_2\hbox {Cu}_4\hbox {O}_8$$ YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 , in comparison with most other cuprates, has a stable stoichiometry, is largely free of defects and may be regarded as the canonical underdoped cuprate, displaying marked pseudogap behaviour and an associate...
