Solid Matter at Low Temperatures

  • Chapter
Matter and Methods at Low Temperatures

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the basic properties of solid materials at low temperatures [3.1–5] that are relevant for the design and construction of low-temperature apparatus and for performing experiments with such apparatus. These properties are, in particular, the specific heat, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity; some magnetic properties of solids will be discussed in later chapters in connection with magnetic cooling and thermometry.
