Thermocouples suitable for use at low temperature

Journal of Scientific Instruments (1954)

W. B. Pearson

Further information is given on the preparation of thermocouples for use below 30° K. Very dilute copper alloys with a variety of solutes have a relatively large and fairly constant absolute thermoelectric power which may be used with advantage.

Thermo-electricity at low temperatures - IV. Variation of thermo-electric power in a magnetic field

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A Mathematical and Physical Sciences (1957)

David Keith Chalmers Macdonald W. B. Pearson

We have made experiments on the variation of thermo-electric power of pure sodium and copper and alloys of copper at low temperatures in a magnetic field. The variation in the pure metals is very small and in the case of sodium is qualitatively and quantitatively at variance with theory. The experiments on the alloys are well interpreted in terms of magneto-resistive behaviour and show that the anomalous scattering in copper + iron and copper + tin alloys is not affected significantly by a magnetic field.

Thermo-electricity at low temperatures. II. The alkali metal group

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A Mathematical and Physical Sciences (1954)

David Keith Chalmers Macdonald W. B. Pearson

In continuation of earlier work we have now measured in detail the thermo-electric behaviour of all the alkali metals, together with some alloys, in the low-temperature region below ~ 80°K. At best, only sodium conforms approximately with the predictions of conventional electron-transport theory; lithium and caesium in particular. show positive thermo-electric powers over the whole range measured, and rubidium is also positive at the lowest temperatures. A sharp inflexion is found in the thermo-e. m. f. of lithium at ~ 30°K. An empirical rule, useful in the discussion of dilute alloys, is proposed.
