Specific heat at low temperature

07/26/2007 7:51 PM

I am looking for a table listing the specific heat of various, common substances (metals and alloys, plastics, glass etc.) for progressively lower temperatures down to at least 60 K. Similar tables listing other physical properties such as thermal conductivity and thermal expansion for low temperatures would also be nice, free would be even nicer!

Hi merkelerk,

Try the (free) NIST Chemistry Webbook: http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/. You enter the compound you need data for, either by formula or name (IUPAC) and select which data you would like; what you would be looking for is in "Condensed-Phase" - check that box. Click the search button and up comes the data (scroll down). The Heat Capacity(specific heat) data (if the data is available for that particular compound) are given in a table. You may find values for given temps and also equations for temp ranges - hopefully down to the low end temps you need.

Hope this helps,

Mike

Thanks for the information. I recently attended two of the lectures given as part of the 2007 Cryogenic Engineering Conference and the International Cryogenic Materials Conference in Chattanooga TN. The NIST is always a part of these lectures and I should have asked my questions then but at the time, my head was quite full.

There is a research agglomeration:

Trt the "Handbook of Materials for Superconducting Machinery", a NIST publication. It has physical properties down to 4 K for common structural materials.
