Thermophysical properties of monobismuthides of rare-earth metals of the yttrium subgroup

Measurements were made of the thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of the monobismuthides of gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, and erbium. For the first time, the measurements were performed on a series of samples of identical composition, obtained using a single technique. The measurements were carried out in the temperature range $300$–$900$ K.
