Abstract
The principle and recent technical development of adiabatic low temperature calorimetry are described with experimental results taken mostly from the authors' laboratory. Topics on the equilibrium and quasi-equilibrium heat capacities include the separation of the Schottky heat capacity from the experimental data on bromo-hydroxyphenalenone and non-Debye excess heat capacity of a glassy hydrocarbon. Relaxation of glassy crystals of rubidium cyanide and C 60 and stabilization of a supercooled phase of methylammonium hexachlorotellurate are discussed. A unique adiabatic calorimeter of top-loading construction recently completed in the authors' laboratory is described along with an experimental result on a glassy liquid prepared at a cooling rate 100 times greater than was possible with a calorimeter of the conventional design.
