Résumé

Broad readership across applied science.
Extensively illustrated. Many charts and data tables included.
A highly integrated text that builds a consistent, self-supporting knowledge base of low-temperature apparatus design, one idea at a time.
Tutorial aspects include detailed discussions of low-temperature measurement techniques, construction techniques for measurement cryostats, operating procedures, vacuum technology, and safety.
Covers many recent developments in low-temperature measurement techniques, superconductors, and scaling theory not previously published.

This book presents a highly integrated, step-by-step approach to the design and construction of low-temperature measurement apparatus. It is effectively two books in one: A textbook on cryostat design techniques and an appendix data handbook that provides materials-property data for carrying out that design. The main text encompasses a wide range of information, written for specialists, without leaving beginning students behind. After summarizing cooling methods, Part I provides core information in an accessible style on techniques for cryostat design and fabrication - including heat-transfer design, selection of materials, construction, wiring, and thermometry, accompanied by many graphs, data, and clear examples. Part II gives a practical user's perspective of sample mounting techniques and contact technology. Part III applies the information from Parts I and II to the measurement and analysis of superconductor critical currents, including in-depth measurement techniques and the latest developments in data analysis and scaling theory. The appendix is a ready reference handbook for cryostat design, encompassing seventy tables compiled from the contributions of experts and over fifty years of literature.

Readership: Graduates, researchers and professionals accross applied science, in particular in physics and materials science.
