Abstract
THE thermal conductivity of crystals is very structure-sensitive, particularly at low temperatures. In the case of dielectric crystals, this has been demonstrated by de Haas and Biermaszl, who measured the effect of heat treatment on the conductivity of a quartz crystal in the liquid-hydrogen temperature region.
