Several aspects of carbon thermometry below 1 K are discussed. Some calibrations, performed on home-made carbon resistors, are presented. The lowest reliable calibration temperature was 25 mK. The reproducibility after thermal cycling of these resistors appeared to be good. Comments are given on our

We have investigated the temperature dependence of the thermal impedance between a thick-film resistor used as a thermometer and liquid helium at temperatures between 1 K and 15 mK. Above 100 mK the impedance is found to vary as T-2, whereas at lower temperatures a T-3 law is obtained. The prefactor
The simple temperature dependence of carbon and germanium resistors in the variable-range hopping regime is applied for thermometry below 1 K. The linear dependence of In(R) on T -x (1/4 ~< x ~< 1/2) does not require the usual fitting procedure and makes calibration and thermometry more convenient.
The variable-range hopping expression R(T)= Ro e(TΒ°/rl~ used to describe data for carbon and thick film chip resistors is discussed. For both kinds of resistors it was found that 1/4 \_\_\_(~ \_\_\_ 1/2, although for the thick film resistors the applicability of models originally used in doped semic
Studies of the power dependence of R,/Rv have been made, where R, is the resistance of a carbon resistor in contact with liquid hefium and Rv is the resistance in the vapour at 4.2 K. The results yield a criterion for maximizing this ratio. This criterion is applied to the design of a novel level in
