Quadratic heat capacity and high-field magnetic phases of V5S8

C. A. Sonego, P. M. T. Vianez, H. Li +4

We report the observation of an unexpected quadratic temperature dependence of the heat capacity in the vanadium sulphide metal V5S8 at low temperatures which is independent of app…

Au-Ge alloys for wide-range low-temperature on-chip thermometry

J. R. A. Dann, P. C. Verpoort, J. Ferreira de Oliveira +4

We present results of a Au-Ge alloy that is useful as a resistance-based thermometer from room temperature down to at least \SI{0.2}{\kelvin}. Over a wide range, the electrical res…
