Abstract
Heat capacity of La2-xMxCuO4 (M = Ba, Sr) has been investigated between 1.5 and 10 K. The temperature e-linear term, γT, of heat capacity is absent in the antiferromagnetic ordered region of x < 0.02. γ increases abruptly from x = 0.02 to x = 0.05 where the system is insulating at low temperature and reaches of the order of 4mJ/mol.K2. The appearance of the finite γ between the AF and SC state causes clearly to spin degrees of freedom. In the superconducting region, γ changes strongly with x and seems to be vanishingly small at x = 0.10 for Ba-doping and 0<x<0.20 for Sr-doping.
