The Thermal Boundary Resistance at Epoxy-Resin/Metal Interfaces at Liquid Helium Temperatures

  • Chapter
Book cover Phonon Scattering in Solids

Abstract

The thermal boundary resistance, RB, in the range 1.4 to 20 K has been measured between an epoxy resin (Epikote 828) and Cu, Ag, Au, Al, Sn and Pb. In all cases the magnitude of RB was about an order of magnitude higher than that predicted by the theory of Little (1959) and its temperature dependence instead of being T−3, ranged from T−1. 5 to T−2. Various possible reasons for the extra resistance are discussed.
