Abstract
A YEAR ago the first experiments for producing very low temperatures by adiabatic demagnetisation of certain paramagnetic substances, as suggested by Debye1 and Giauque2, were carried out, by Giauque and MacDougall3, and also by de Haas, Wiersma and Kramers4. Continuing our former experiments5 on the magnetic method, we have constructed an apparatus for investigations in the region of lowest temperatures. As we shall soon give a detailed report of some calculations and experimental work, we will mention here only some of our results.
