Cryostats for ultra-low magnetic fields
Cryostats are devices in which defined and spatially limited areas or components are cooled down to a predefined and very low temperature, e.g. below -269 °C (4.2 K). A novel device designed for the variable temperature adjustment of special flow cryostats based on pneumatic motors made of plastic and of other components made of non-magnetic materials can minimize electromagnetic interference fields. This enables direct, high-precision SQUID measurements of weakly magnetic materials that cannot be achieved using conventional optical methods or neutron scattering techniques. The cryostats are inexpensive and easy to manufacture. (Technology Offer 521)
