Abstract

The thermal conductivity of a sample of solid HD containing fixed H2 and D2 isotopic impurities has been measured over a period of 271 hr in the temperature range 4–0.2°K. During this time a substantial number of o-H2 impurities convert to p-H2, enabling one to determine in the same crystal the o-H2 dependence of the thermal conductivity. The o-H2 dependence is compared to the theory of Ebner and Sung1 and found to give reasonable agreement for temperatures above 0.6°K. Isotopic scattering was found to dominate the high-temperature data. The low-temperature results were characteristic of boundary scattering, from which it was inferred that the sample was polycrystalline.
