A simple and efficient temperature controller suitable for experiments at cryogenic temperatures is described. The controlling efficiency in the temperature range from 77 to 300 K has been found to be better than + 20 inK.

type CMOS timer integrated circuits have been evaluated for cryogenic use as resistor-capacitor (R-C) oscillators. First, the behaviour of 28 different integrated circuits (ICs) was compared between room and liquid nitrogen temperatures, under a variety of operating conditions. The behaviour of six of these ICs was then measured as a function of temperature over the range 80-320 K. All circuits operated reasonably well down to 80 K, with frequency variations within = ยฑ 2% at = 3 kHz. Tests on seven ICs at liquid helium temperature showed that they were not suitable for use at this temperature.

It is important to reduce substrate noise in the analog/digital mixed-signal integrated circuits. In order to understand the influence of substrate noise, a technique to measure substrate noise using a chopper-type voltage comparator based on an equivalent sampling method is proposed. The substrate
The positron annihilation method was used to evaluate the unoccupied spaces in epoxies with the aim of molecular design of epoxies for cryogenic use. The fracture toughness of commercially available epoxies was measured and compared with the lifetime TV. Evaluation by positron annihilation enabled t
