Resistance Thermometry below 1.0° K

Abstract

DURING an investigation of the thermal coupling between the ionic magnets and the lattice vibrations of paramagnetic salts in the neighbourhood of the absolute zero, we have made some resistance measurements in the temperature range below 1° K. The resistance measured consisted of a specimen of fine phosphor-bronze wire very kindly supplied to us by Prof. Keesom of Ley den.
