Low Temperature Properties of Selected Materials


Book Description

This report is a bibliography of the work reported in the literature on the effects of low temperature on the properties of structural materials. Some of the newer areas of cryogenic technology such as superconducting machinery involve environments which may subject the components to temperature as low as 4 K. Exposure of structural materials to such low temperatures affects their properties. This bibliography contains 963 references published between 1950-1976, arranged in chronological/alphabetical order. Combined material/property indexes are provided. (Author).




A Bibliography of the Thermophysical Properties of Oxygen at Low Temperatures


Book Description

This bibliography of the mechanical, thermodynamic and transport properties of oxygen below 0°C presents 325 references and is the result of a thorough search of the world's scientific and engineering literature. In addition to searching abstracting journals and bibliographies, the authors reviewed each document for property data and for additional references. Listed for each reference are the properties and the corresponding temperature and pressure range, together with additional pertinent information such as type of data (i.e., whether the data are derived from experimental measurements, theoretical considerations or as a compilation from other sources), the form and amount of data, etc. An index according to property, sub-indexed for temperature and pressure ranges, and an author index are included.







The Art of Cryogenics


Book Description

Cryogenics is the study of low temperature interactions - temperatures well below those existing in the natural universe. The book covers a large spectrum of experimental cases, including basic vacuum techniques, indispensable in cryogenics. Guidance in solving experimental problems and numerous numerical examples are given, as are examples of the applications of cryogenics in such areas as underground detectors and space applications. Updated tables of low-temperature data on materials are also presented, and the book is supplemented with a rich bibliography. Researchers (graduate and above) in the fields of physics, engineering and chemistry with an interest in the technology and applications of low-temperature measurements, will find this book invaluable. - Experiments described in technical detail - Description of newest cryogenic apparatus - Applications in multidisciplinary areas - Data on cryogenic properties of new materials - Current reference review
