From private communication

From thermodynamics, the relation between magnetization M and entropy S is obtained from the Maxwell relation: \((\partial S/ \partial H)_T = (\partial M/\partial T)_H\). In addition, at low temperatures, C/T is almost constant. Therefore, \(S=\gamma T\) in \({\text {UTe}}_{2}\) is hold up. As a results, we can detect the H dependence of \(\gamma \) as follows: \((\partial \gamma / \partial H)_T = (\partial ^2 M/ \partial T^2)_H\).
