Measurements carried out on bulk samples of apiezon N grease in nylon tubes indicate that the grease behaves as a thermal insulator between 4.2 and 1.4 K, and therefore applications utilizing thick grease coatings to provide thermal contact should be avoided. In addition it was observed that the the

The electrical resistance of simple screw-fastened joints between two bare copper blocks and blocks with various materials interposed were measured at 4.2 K. Based upon these measurements, ways to improve the low temperature thermal conductance of such joints are indicated.
A new type of cryostat is described which enables tensile plastic deformation of copper alloys at liquid helium temperatures and measurements of thermal conductivity to be made without allowing the samples to age at temperatures above the liquid helium range. The cryostat has also been adapted for r
The number of laboratories in India equipped with a liquid helium facility has steadily increased to about twelve, and more liquifiers are expected to be installed in the near future. In this article the cryogenic research works being carried out at various institutions are reviewed. Although the ou
