Vibration frequency and damping have been measured as a function of temperature in the range 4.5°K–300°K, for lead, copper, aluminum, and silver rods. Damping has been found to reach a maximum near 13 of Debye temperature, owing to a new relaxation effect. Near the absolute zero both damping and frequency changes vanish as a high power of temperature.
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.
