A calorimeter for operation in the temperature range 2-150 K

Abstract

The description of a calorimeter for measurement of heat-capacity in the temperature range, 2-150 K, by semi-adiabatic heat-pulse method is presented. The data collection is computerized and various parameters monitored through the software ensure high quality of the data. The performance of the calorimeter was verified with the well-known standard materials. Results on the alloys, PrCu₂Si₂ and GdCu₂Si₂, are also presented.
