The thermal diffusivity of gadolinium in the temperature range 25-900% h a s been measured with application d the laser flash method. The thermal conductivity has been deduced by wing published specific heat and density data. Despite the debated values at room temperature, the thermal conductivity of gadolinium is very low compared with that of almost any other pure metal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
