Abstract

The photopyroelectric effect has been used to measure simultaneously specific heat (c), thermal conductivity (k) and thermal diffusivity (α) at low temperatures. A calibration procedure which allows the use of a pyroelectric transducer at low temperatures is described. Simultaneous measurements of c, k, and α over a high T c superconducting phase transition are reported.
