โฆ Synopsis
A new method is presented for measuring the low-temperature thermal conductivity of thin electrically-conducting samples. The proposed two-probe technique is useful mainly in the case of non free-standing samples of medium and high thermal resistivity. The method is simple: a resistance bridge is used both for measuring the temperatures and for heating the sample. The limits of this method are discussed. The thermal conductivities below 0.3 K of a normal alloy (manganin) and a superconducting alloy (Al/Si 1%), both which we obtained using this method, are presented.
