Abstract
A cryostat is described which is capable of measuring specific heat and thermal conductivity of dielectric crystals over the temperature range 0.05 and 2.0°K. Thermal conductivity is measured with a steady flow of heat through the sample, and specific heat by a pulse technique. Differential carbon resistance thermometry is used for both measurements. The performance is demonstrated on the thermal conductivity of LiF, and on the specific heat of two samples of nominally pure KCl.Keywords
