The birth of this monograph is partly due to the persistent efforts
of the General Editor, Dr. Klaus Timmerhaus, to persuade the
authors that they encapsulate their forty or fifty years of
struggle with the thermal properties of materials into a book
before they either expired or became totally senile. We recognize
his wisdom in wanting a monograph which includes the closely linked
properties of heat capacity and thermal expansion, to which we have
added a little 'cement' in the form of elastic moduli. There seems
to be a dearth of practitioners in these areas, particularly among
physics postgraduate students, sometimes temporarily alleviated
when a new generation of exciting materials are found, be they
heavy fermion compounds, high temperature superconductors, or
fullerenes. And yet the needs of the space industry,
telecommunications, energy conservation, astronomy, medical
imaging, etc., place demands for more data and understanding of
these properties for all classes of materials - metals, polymers,
glasses, ceramics, and mixtures thereof. There have been many
useful books, including Specific Heats at Low Tempera tures by E.
S. Raja Gopal (1966) in this Plenum Cryogenic Monograph Series, but
few if any that covered these related topics in one book in a
fashion designed to help the cryogenic engineer and cryophysicist.
We hope that the introductory chapter will widen the horizons of
many without a solid state background but with a general interest
in physics and materials."
