Abstract
A microsecond-resolution capacitor discharge technique is used to heat niobium specimens rapidly to temperatures several hundred degrees above the melting point. From the measurements of current, voltage, and temperature as a function of time, the heat capacity and electrical resistivity of liquid niobium in the range 2850 to 3200 K were determined. Maximum uncertainties in the results are estimated to be ±5% for heat capacity and ±3% for electrical resistivity.
