VANADIUM, niobium, and tantalum are three transition elements with relatively large electronic specific heats; they are also supercondfictors. Interest in their low temperature expansion properties, therefore, lies in the fact that not only should useful information be obtained about their lattice d

β¦ Synopsis
Measurements are reported of the thermal expansion, a, from 2 to 100 K and heat capacity from 1.5 to 20 K for a sample of Zerodur M and two samples of Zerodur for comparison. Zerodur M is a new glass-ceramic produced by Schott Glaswerke (Mainz), which has a near-zero thermal expansion coefficient at ambient temperature and improved dimensional stability on thermal cycling compared with the earlier Zerodur. The heat capacities of Zerodur M and Zerodur are shown to be similar to each other, whereas~the c~ values for Zerodur M are significantly different between 50 to 150 K compared with those for Zerodur.

Linear expansion coefficients have been measured for Cr, Mo and W from 2-30 K, 55-90 K, and near room temperature. At low temperatures, the lattice contributions for Mo and W, although small, are determined to better than 10% giving respective limiting values of the lattice GriJneisen parameter, 3'o
The linear thermal expansion coefficient, a, has been measured from 2 to 32 K and from 55 to 90 K for a machineable glass-ceramic, an "ultra-low expansion" titanium silicate glass (Coming ULE), and ceramic glasses (Cer-Vit and Zerodur), and for glassy carbon, a is negative for the ultra-low expansio
