✦ Synopsis
Nuclear refrigeration experiments on a 12 mole copper specimen are described. A conduction electron temperature of 0.37 mK, significantly lower than before, was achieved. The nuclear stage could be kept below 2 mK for 12 hour& It is shown that both the spinlattice relaxation mechanism and the bulk electronic thermal conductivity in copper are important processes which determine the temperature distribution in the nuclear stage after demagnetization. The reversibility of the cooling process is analysed.

Two-stage nuclear demagnetization has been performed using PrCu6 and Cu as coolants. The Cu nuclear stage reached temperatures as low as 10 izK with a rate of temperature rise of less than a few IxK/h. The corresponding conduction electron temperature is estimated to be less than 50 I~K. A nuclear o
The present status and problems of refrigeration and thermometry at micro. kelvin temperatures will be discussed. It will be shown that a better understanding of internal, time dependent heat leaks and of thermal boundary resistances as well as further progress in thermometry are necessary to reduce
