| †9 | The thermal resistances of 27 pure metals were measured in magnetic fields up to 0.4 T. Ag (polycrystalline; purities of 99.99 % and 99.999 %), Cd, Ga, In, Pb, Sn, Tl and Zn showed appreciable magnetothermal resistance (MTR). The effect was always greater for transverse applied fields. The MTR increased quadratically with temperature at very small fields, and then rose linearly in larger fields. The ratio of WH (thermal resistance in magnetic field, H) versus W0 (thermal resistance in zero field) is plotted versus applied magnetic field. |
