a The specific heat coefficient C/T versus T2 at 0 T and 6 T. The normal state data (as the green symbols) deviates from the usual Debye model (as the purple line) but can be well fitted when additionally considering the electron correlations (as the blue line). The inset is an enlarged view of the fits at low temperatures. b The electronic specific heat coefficient at 0 T and the fitting curves with three different gap structures.
