Abstract

The thermal conductivities of beryllium fluoride glass and a fluoroberyllate glass have been measured in the 2–100K temperature range. These results are compared with earlier results on fluorozirconate glasses. The “plateau” region is well-defined for both materials. The plateau-center conductivity for BeF2 glass is the lowest yet recorded for any glass; it is some three times lower than the fluoroberyllate glass and four times lower than the fluorozirconates. A preliminary analysis of the data show a strong correlation between plateau-center conductivity and average cation mass of the material.
