69. The quantity γ ∼ 1 / T K is the linear coefficient of specific heat of the quantum dot. The specific heat, C (T), of a quantum dot is difficult to measure, but theoretically it is easily calculated from the free energy (Ref.). The linear coefficient of specific heat, γ, is then obtained via γ = lim T → 0 C (T) / T.
