The low-temperature specific heat of the organic conductors α-(BEDT-TTF) 2 MHg (SCN) 4 (M= K, Rb, and NH 4) has been measured at temperatures down to 0.25 K and under magnetic field up to 8 T. The electronic specific-heat coefficient γ is estimated at 7.0±0.6 mJ/mol K 2 for both M= K and Rb salts and 25–26 mJ/mol K 2 for M= NH 4 salt. The smaller γ values for M= K and Rb than that for M= NH 4 imply that the electron density of states of the low-temperature phase of the former two salts is suppressed down to about 35% of that of the high-temperature phase. This profile of specific heat remains unchanged up to 8 T. The superconducting NH 4 salt shows a very broad specific-heat peak around the transition temperature, reflecting a strong two-dimensional nature of the superconductivity.
