Thermal conductivity measurements at low temperatures
P Balaya H S Jayanna Hemant Joshi G Sumana V G Narasimha Murthy V Prasad S V Subramanyam
We describe briefly the experimental facilities developed for the measurement of thermal conductivity of solids in the temperature range 10K–300K. Different techniques have been used for the determination of thermal conductivity, depending on the relaxation time of the system under investigation. Measurements on stainless steel 304, using steady state and non-steady state methods are presented. Values of thermal conductivity obtained by both these methods agree to each other and are consistent with those reported earlier.

We report low temperature electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements of conducting polyaniline (PANI) and multiwalled-carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites. We have used an in-situ oxidative polymer-ization method to synthesize hydrochloric acid-doped PANI composites with MWCNT weight percentages of 0, 5, 10 and 15. The temperature dependence of resistivity is studied from room temperature to 4.2 K and analysed by a Mott variable range hopping (VRH) model. The resistivity increases from 1.1 × 10⁻³ Ωm at 300 K to 65.75 Ωm at 4.2 K, almost four orders of the magnitude change with temperature for pure PANI. Whereas the PANI composite with 15% MWCNTs shows less variation from 4.6 × 10⁻⁴ to 3.5 × 10⁻² Ωm. The huge change in resistivity is due to the localization of charge carriers in the presence of disorder. At 4.2 K MR shows transition from positive to negative with higher MWCNT loading. Samples with 5 and 10% MWCNTs show positive MR, whereas the 15% MWCNT loaded sample shows negative MR. The positive and negative MR are discussed in terms of the wave function shrinkage effect and quantum interference effect on VRH conduction.
