Abstract

The specific heat of antimony has been measured from 0.54 to 4.0°K. A least-squares fit to the data in the 0.54 to 1.1°K range gave

C = (0.105 \pm 0.002) T + (0.210 \pm 0.002) T^{3} + (0.0048 \pm 0.0004) T^{- 2}

mJ/mole °K and a Debye temperature of 210.0±0.7°K. The uncertainties are rms deviations of the means. These results are in good agreement with specific-heat, Fermi-surface, and quadrupole-resonance data. Thermometer calibration in the

{He}^{3}

range is discussed.
