Type of article: Article

Summary

A CALORIMETRIC TECHNIQUE IS DESCRIBED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE ABSOLUTE HEAT CAPACITY OF SMALL SAMPLES WITH WEIGHTS OF A FEW MILLIGRAMMES IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE 0.06-4 K. HEAT IS DEPOSITED IN THE SAMPLES BY ABSORPTION OF OPTICAL LIGHT PULSES FROM A LIGHT EMITTING DIODE. A FURTHER REDUCTION OF THE ADDENDA IS ACHIEVED BY USING A THIN FILM GOLD-GERMANIUM THERMOMETER. THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE CALORIMETER IS CHECKED BY MEASUREMENTS ON A SMALL COPPER SAMPLE WEIGHING 30 MILLIGRAMMES.
