This book addresses the needs of researchers in physics and chemistry, project engineers and students interested in cryogenics and thermal properties of matter. Using a musical analogy it is piano four hands, not a work for two different instruments. The book’s three parts, each of which is devoted to a respective thermal property, are written with the same guiding philosophy: (1) to describe theories on the propagation of heat in solids in a format that is concise but sufficiently detailed to understand the three thermal phenomena; (2) to review the main experimental techniques with some examples taken from the literature; and (3) to present experimental data in the form of tables and graphs.
