Résumé
Afin d'utiliser un SQUID résistant pour mesurer la capacité calorifique de différents matériaux, nous avons mis au point une méthode qui réduit la correction due à la capacité calorifique du SQUID lui-même. Nous donnons les résultats de mesures-test faites entre 2 et 6,5 K sur 3,8 gm de cuivre pur.


Abstract
In order to try out a resistive SQUID for measuring the heat capacity of materials, we have devised method in which the correction that must be made for the heat capacity of the resistive SQUID itself is reduced. We report the results of a preliminary test measurement made between 2 and 6.5 K on a 3.8 gm specimen of pure copper.
