Material properties at cryogenic temperatures

[jollyholly]

hello,
I am trying to find electrical and thermal properties of materials such as alumina, titania, and various metal oxides at 4K and 77K. I have scoured the internet trying to find the properties and have gone to a major university library without success. Any help or resources that you know of would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi jolly,
The only references that summarize various material properties under cryogenic conditions that I have only cover the typical metals and plastics. Here's a couple I have excerpts from that you might try:
Thermophysical properties of matter by Y. S. Touloukian and C. Y. Ho
also,
Materials at Low Temperatures by Richard P. Reed and Alan F. Clark
http://www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=6468761
You might look for these in a local university library.

Otherwise, I'd suggest doing a Google Scholar search for specific papers. For example: "Dielectric Properties of Single Crystals of Al2O3, LaAlO3, NdGaO3, SrTiO3, and MgO at Cryogenic Temperatures" by Jerzy Krupta et al.

have you tried the CRC Handbook?

otherwise you may have to do a literature search for individual papers that deal specifically with these measurements and for the particular materials you are interested in.
