Abstract
This paper reviews a number of heat capacity studies of superconductors. We show that by analyzing the data over a wide range of temperature much information about the electronic, lattice and superconducting properties of a material can be derived. We first review how McMillan's strong coupling parameter λ can be determined solely from heat capacity data. We then discuss detailed studies of the A15, C15 and ternary molybdenum chalcogenides. These studies provide information about electronic screening effects on superconductive and lattice properties of the A15 and C15 materials and about the distribution of phonon modes in the molybdenum alloys.
