Abstract
A bstract: Theories of thermal conductivity in single crystals of non‐metallics are given, and the apparatus used for experimentation is described. Experimental results obtained for a number of single crystals show the variation of conductivity with temperature and crystallographic direction. A minimum thermal conductivity as the temperature is increased is indicated, which agrees with the theory of A. H. Compton.Keywords
