Abstract
Twenty‐four germanium resistance thermometers have been cycled 30 times between 15 K and 300 K with resistance measurements being made at 15 K, 20 K and 27 K on each cycle. Stabilities ranging from 0.1 mK to 10 mK at 20 K were observed with both drifts and jumps in the resistance of some thermometers. In most cases, the proportional changes in the resistance of a particular thermometer were the same at each of the three test temperatures. The effect of possible strain introduced by an epoxy heat sink on the thermometer was found to be insignificant.Keywords
