Abstract
The optical methods are described for measuring the temperature and th e radius of an expanding cylindrical wire to which a current pulse of density j similar to 10(11) A/m(2) is applied. The temperature depende nces of density, specific heat, and electrical conductivity of liquid tungsten are obtained, and the temperature coefficients of expansion a nd electrical conductivity are determined. The data obtained are compa red with other known data.
