Abstract :
In 1985, the CODATA Bulletin published a Report of its Task Group on Thermophysical
Properties of Solids which analyzed awdlable data on, and gave
recommended values for, the heat capacity of Cu, Fe, W, and AI20 3. the thermal
expansion of Cu, Si, W, and A1_,O3, the electrical resistivity of Cu, Fe, Pt,
and W, the thermal conductivity of AI, Cu, Fe, and W, and the absolute thermopower
of Pb, Cu, Pt, and W. The analysts for the different properties were
R. B. Castanet, S. J. Collocott, P. D. Desai, C. Y. Ho, J. G. Hust, R. B. Roberts,
C. A. Swenson, and G. K. White. The present paper is an updated version of
the earlier report and includes more recent data which change some of the
recommended values, notably tile heat capacity of Cu and W and the thermal
expansion of Si and W.
