Experience low-temperature physics up close: We present our cryostat - a special device for experiments under extreme conditions. It generates a magnetic field of up to 6 Tesla (120,000 times the Earth's magnetic field) and temperatures close to absolute zero, down to -271.65°C (1.5 Kelvin)!
What is a cryostat?
A cryostat is a cooling system that keeps extremely low temperatures stable. It is used to research new materials for quantum computers and quantum sensors.
How does our cryostat work?
- Dewar vessel: A highly insulated container with 30 liters of liquid helium at -269°C, similar to a perfect thermos flask.
- Evaporation cryostat: Inside, a superconducting magnet generates a strong field. Liquid helium is sucked in, vaporized and cooled down to 1.5 Kelvin by pumping it out.
Flexibility for research
The cryostat is suitable for temperatures from 1.5 K to 325 K (52°C). The sample holder enables precise experiments with new materials and is equipped with measuring leads, thermometer and heater.
