Abstract
UNTIL quite recently, the development of low temperature research has been carried on almost entirely abroad, and although the book has had to be restricted to a few sections of especial interest and, in particular, dealing largely with the range of temperature l°-20° abs., a remarkably comprehensive survey is compressed into the six chapters on the production of low temperatures, their measurement, liquid and solid helium, specific heats, electrical conductivity and magnetism. The latest work on the region below 1° abs. is notable, and, in view of the interest and importance of electrical and magnetic phenomena at low temperatures in connexion with atomic and lattice structure, the last two chapters give a valuable summary of recent experimental and theoretical advances.
