Abstract
In this chapter experimental data for materials of common use in cryogenics are reported, in particular, approximate integrated data useful for a rough estimation of the power necessary to cool down a system. Specific heat data are divided into two groups of tables: (1) very-low temperature data of c p (below about 4 K) given by a fit when possible (Sect. 3.2). (2) low temperature of c p (approximately 4–300 K) of specific heat c p and H*(integral of c p ) (Sect. 3.3).
