Abstract
The effect of an intense magnetic field on an 1100‐type capacitance thermometer (made from an SrTiO3 glass‐ceramic crystallized at 1100°C) was accurately measured at five temperatures between 1.5 and 4.2 K. At each manostatically maintained temperature, the capacitance changes were measured five times between B=0 and B=14 T, and it was found that these changes did not exceed the measurement uncertainty, ±0.3 pF≅±1 mK. Similar results were obtained on a second 1100‐type thermometer. Some suggestions are made for the use of this type of thermometer in magnetic field experiments.
