Cryostat
Cryostat
A Cryostat is a device used to maintain low cryogenic temperatures of samples or devices mounted within the cryostat. Low temperatures may be maintained within a cryostat by using various refrigeration methods, most commonly using cryogenic fluid bath such as liquid helium. Hence it can be used to maintain a low temperature around a sample or device, typically for scientific or technological applications.
Function[edit | edit source]
Cryostats have a wide range of applications in scientific research that require low-temperature environments. These include studies in physics, chemistry, and materials science. The cryostat helps to reduce thermal noise when making precision measurements.
Types of Cryostats[edit | edit source]
There are several types of cryostats used in various fields. These include:
- Continuous-flow cryostats: These are the most common type of cryostat. They use a constant flow of cryogenic liquid to cool the sample.
- Bath cryostats: These cryostats immerse the sample in a bath of cryogenic liquid.
- Closed-cycle cryostats: These cryostats use a closed cycle of gas that is cooled to cryogenic temperatures.
- Multistage cryostats: These cryostats use multiple cooling stages to reach very low temperatures.
