Features Working Principle

The system is cryogen-free cryostat capable of reaching temperatures as low as 4 K and magnetic fields up to 1 T. It utilizes pulse tube technology for cooling without the need for cryogenic liquids, minimizing vibrations and allowing for easy sample exchange.

Body Specification

Pulse Tube Cold Head: Drives the cooling via gas compression and displacement. 

 Sample Vacuum Space: Providesisolation and thermal coupling for the sample.

 Outer Vacuum Space: Enclosesthe sample vacuum space, providing an additional insulation layer.

 Compressor Unit: Provides high-pressure helium to the pulse tube.

 Overpressure Valves: Ensures pressure safety in both the inner and outer vacuum chambers
