Matter and Methods at Low Temperatures by Frank Pobell.

It has been a great pleasure for me to see this book - very often several copies - in almost every low-temperature laboratory I have visited during the past three years. Low- and ultralow-temperature physics continue to be lively and pro­ gressing fields of research. New results have emerged over th...
