Abstract

We report the first observation of the magnetic-field-dependent electronic specific heat in GaAs-GaAs multilayers. With a heat-pulse technique oscillations of the sample temperature on the order of millikelvins were observed. Both intra- and inter-Landau-level contributions could be distinguished. Theoretical fits to the data reveal a density of states consisting of Gaussian peaks on a flat background.
