Abstract
We describe a new calorimeter for measuring heat capacity in the range 1–35 K, using a silicon chip bolometer as sample holder, temperature sensor, and sample heater. The apparatus is capable of measuring very small samples (1–500 mg), and may be used with a number of different experimental methods.

Critical examination of heat capacity measurements made on a Quantum Design physical property measurement system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the performance of a thermal-relaxation calorimeter that operates in the temperature range of 1.8-395 K. The accuracy of the PPMS specific heat data is determined by comparing data measured on copper and synthetic sapphire samples with standard literature values.

Specific Heats of Transition Metal Superconductors

TL;DR: In this article, a strong dependence of T/sub c/ upon the density of states in the d band indicates that the superconducting electrons are d electrons and the electron interaction parameter, V, of the Bandeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory is found to be approximately 0.4 ev for all the metals investigated.
