Heat Capacity of Glycerol Glass Between 1.5° and 4°K. Use of Glycerol as a Heat Exchange Medium in Low-Temperature Calorimetry

Abstract

The heat capacity of glycerol glass was measured between 1.5° and 4°K. Below 2°K the heat capacity is in excess of that expected from theoretical considerations for an isotropic solid. The use of glycerol as a heat exchange medium is discussed and described.
