Landolt-Börnstein, Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology. GroupIII, Vol 15, Sub-volume c
by P G Klemens, G Neuer, B Sundquist, C Uhler, G K White
Springer, Berlin (1991)
English |
Thermal conductivity of pure metals and alloys.
The collection of tables and data is part of a programme of Landolt-Börnstein aiming at a critical tabulation of reliable data relevant to metal physics. This collection fills a long-felt need for both experimentalists and theoreticians including non-specialists who find the primary literature and non-critical data collection rather overwhelming. |
