The heat capacity of In was measured from 0.08 to 4.2 deg K, and that of Sn from 0.09 to 1.2 deg K. The results on In show that below about 0.7 deg K the total superconducting-state heat capacity is less than the normal-state lattice heat capacity alone. This result is surprising compared with analyses of the heat capacity data of a superconductor made in the usual way. However, the effect was not observed in Sn. Comparisons with other pertinent experiments are made, and two proposed explanations of the effect are discussed. (auth)
