β¦ Synopsis
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 expansion materials below 100 K, as for pure vitreous silica. Comparative data are reported for a-quartz, a-cristobafite, common opal, and vitreous silica.

The heat capacities between 1.5 and 25 K have been measured for grassy and devitritied samptes of two substances: one is a commercial material ("Cer-Vit") and the other is diopside (CaMgSiaOe). All samples, whether glassy or crystalline, have an "excess" heat capacity at the lowest temperatures roug
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
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
