Temperature 2 (K 2 )<br />

Above 13 K and below 3 K the data in Figure B- 1 deviate from a straight<br />

line. The deviation above 13K can be fit by an expression for the specific heat<br />

of a thermally activated Einstein (optical) phonon mode, with an Einstein<br />

temperature of Θ Ε = 140 K. Both β and Θ Ε are field independent within<br />

experimental error. The temperature range below 3 K is not large enough to<br />

draw conclusion about the functional form of the low-temperature upturn.<br />

A field independent term proportional to T 3 ln(T) is expected from the non-<br />

spinwave spin fluctuations [91, 194, 199]. A Shottky anomaly due to free<br />

Figure B- 1 Heat capacity of SrRuO 3 cooled in zero field (zfc),<br />

in an 8 T magnetic field, and in zero field after being<br />

magnetized (rem). Inset, difference between the heat capacity<br />

measured after cooling in zero field with that in 8 T and the<br />

remnant magnetized state.
