An experimental <condensed matter physicist> who developed a low-temperature relaxation <calorimeter> for small samples. A sapphire platform is connected to a cold bath by a controlled thermal link; its temperature relaxation determines <heat capacity>. Explaining the platform's own thermal resistances is essential before interpreting a sample's small signal as a material property.<Development of a Relaxation Calorimeter for Temperatures between 0.05 and 4 K by Manuel Brando>[Abstract: sapphire platform, permanent thermal link and small-sample heat capacity]{ref}
