Abstract. We have measured the heat capacity of superconducting, single phase YBa2Cu3O7 in the temperature range 2 to 18 K. An extrapolation of the data between 4 and 9 K gives aC/T (T → 0) of ∼ 25 mJ/mole K2. The Debye temperature obtained from the high temperature linear portion ofC/T vsT2 plot is 325 K.
