Abstract

Specific heat provides a link among the many solid state theories; vice versa these theories can also be used to estimate the specific heat of materials. From a practical point of view, the knowledge of the specific heat of technically important materials is often fundamental in the design of instruments and systems which have to work in the low temperature regime. Since cryogenics is presently used in research, aerospace, industry and energy production and storage, specific heat data for commonly used materials are mandatory. In this chapter theories about contributions to specific heat are reported: lattice specific heat (Sect. 1.2), electronic specific heat in normal (Sect. 1.3) and superconducting (Sect. 1.4) materials, contributions from transitions and defects (Sect. 1.5), magnetic specific heat (Sect. 1.6), contributions present in amorphous materials (Sect. 1.7).
