1 The measurement C = ΔQ ΔT 62

2 How to measure Cp? Principle : apply P, read T and time adiabatic : isolated sample and pt by pt C = quasi-adiabatic, continuous heating P = C dt/dt ΔQ ΔT relaxation : heat pulse, thermal link to T bath large relaxation, dual slope,... P modulation : alternative heating at ω T ac = K + jc! 63

3 very demanding T measurements!! DC/C 10-3 T = DT/T 10-3 and TIME calibrations of thermometers is a nightmare!! and fitting procedure heat capacity C (a.u.) Texte 10 superconducting transition of Nb!T c = 50 mk, 10 pts in transition C = (dt/dt) 5 T = T (K) 64

19 (Dis) Advantages, popular, reliable, and widely used at low T extended down to below 10mK (J.P. Brison) good accuracy (5%), but not excellent resolution mass down to a fraction of a mg relaxation time >= 1s Cp can vary by orders of magnitude between the interesting T-range, so does relaxation time Point by point, long and tenuous, 1pt at 100K=20mns 75
