Isothermal Magnetization

The lowest limit of temperature obtainable by the hitherto usual method of evaporating liquid helium lies at about 0⋅7º. At this temperature the vapour pressure of helium is already so small that it does not seem possible to proceed to appreciably lower temperatures in this way. In the course of last year the first successful experiments in attaining still lower temperatures were carried out using the magnetic method proposed by Debye and Giauque. This method is based on the possibility of diminishing considerably the entropy of some paramagnetic salts by isothermal magnetization. The subsequent demagnetization, if carried out adiabatically, then results in a lowering of the temperature.

Elastic Shear

The effect of thermal excitation of the conduction electrons on the elastic shear constants is investigated in a metal in which the Fermi surface lies close to the Brillouin-zone boundaries. It is shown that in these circumstances electron-lattice interaction leads to an addi­tional term in the specific heat, linear in the temperature in the liquid-helium range, which, therefore, augments the pure electronic specific heat. The variation in magnitude of this linear term is considered in the α-brasses. It is suggested that this is the physical effect underlying the peculiarities of the ‘electronic’ specific heat of these alloys.
