Below 3.3^∘{}K, the normal-state specific heat of niobium, measured in a magnetic field of 17 kG, can be represented by Cₙ=7.79T+0.094T³ mJ/mole deg. This corresponds to a value of the Debye parameter at 0^∘{}K, {}(0), of 275^∘{}K. The specific heat in the superconducting state does not appear to be anomalous, as has been reported.
