Abstract
We derive the expression of the specific heat of a three-dimensional semime tal near a zero-temperature phase transition with dynamic exponent z. The r esult showed the occurrence of a non-Fermi behavior for z = 3, according to the general conjecture that the systems with d = z may present a T ln T co ntribution in the specific heat, which is typical for the non-Fermi behavio r.
