Contents:
Preface -- Dedication -- Part I -- 1 Heat Capacity -- 2 How to Measure Heat Capacity at Low Temperatures -- 3 Data of Specific Heat -- Part II -- 4 Thermal Expansion -- 5 How to Measure Thermal Expansion Coefficient at Low Temperatures -- 6 Data of Thermal Expansion -- Part III -- 7 Electrical and Thermal conductivity -- 8 How to Measure Thermal Conductivity -- 10 Data of Thermal Conductivity.
Summary: This book is a guide for materials scientists, physicists, chemists and engineers who wish to explore the field of low-temperature material properties. The focus is on heat capacity, thermal expansion and electrical and thermal conductivity. The authors report a wide range of experimental details and data, and have compiled useful tables of low-temperature data. Each chapter of the book starts by addressing the theoretical basis of the phenomena. This is a concise presentation, but it helps the reader to develop a deeper understanding of the experiments. The second part of the chapters is dedicated to describing the main experimental techniques to measure thermal properties at low and very low temperature ranges. The final part of each chapter provides a wealth of relevant experimental data in the form of tables and graphs.
