โœฆ Synopsis

An adiabatic demagnetization cooler with an indirectly cooled superconducting magnet was fabricated for an infrared detector. The operating temperature was designed to be 0.2 K. The temperature of the sensor, which replaced the infrared detector, was successfully maintained at 0.200-0.205 K for 7 h by active magnetic field control, using single crystal chromic potassium sulphate as a magnetic working substance. Using manganese ammonium sulphate, a temperature below 0.300 K was maintained for over 12 h, although the lowest sensor temperature was 0.237 K. Yttrium aluminium garnet doped with the magnetic impurity neodymium ion (Nd 3รท) was also tested, it being a substitute for paramagnetic salts from the viewpoint of easy processing and handling. Using this garnet a temperature of 0.203 K could be obtained, though this could only be maintained for 6 min. A proposal for improvement in the garnet cooling capacity has been made.

This note describes a possible solution to the training problems that have been observed in many superconducting coils. In particular the proposed technique should apply to bath-cooled coils that are not designed to recover thermally from a small normal region. As a result these coils quench, but th

This paper describes a dummy test of a cryogenic heat pipe coupled between the infrared detector and cooler. The cryogenic heat pipe provides efficient thermal conduction for 2 W power over a 87. 5 cm length with a maximum temperature difference of 0.91 K at 82 K operating temperature. The test resu

We describe techniques used to fabricate the cold stage of an adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator that uses the paramagnetic salt ferric ammonium alum. We discuss the design of a leak-tight housing for the salt as well as a technique for growing ferric ammonium alum crystals that results in a hou
