Data of Thermal Conductivity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Thermal Properties of Solids at Room and Cryogenic Temperatures

Part of the book series: International Cryogenics Monograph Series ((ICMS))

  • 2706 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter, data of thermal conductivity (κ) and integrated conductivity (I*) are presented in the form of tables. Data are divided into three categories. 1. Very low temperature data (100 mK–2 K), 2. Low temperature data (4–300 K), 3. Data about crystalline materials for which a fit in a limited range of temperature is proposed.
