Hi, I am looking for an introduction to heat capacity measurements at low temperature (10K). (For example for producing the linear dependence of the electronic heat capacity on T). I fail to find a simple introduction. Can anyone mention keypoints or a good source?
Thank you!

You can buy resistive heating elements and low temperature thermocouples from vacuum supplier like Kurt J Lesker. Just going off my intuition, I imagine you need to calibrate out the heat capacity of the cold finger. You would be calculating energy imparted from the resistive heater using energy = power* time = R*I^2 * time.
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
