Neon gas-gap heat switch 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A self-contained neon gas-gap heat switch featuring an internal charcoal adsorption pump has been developed and tested. This heat switch can be used with cold base temperature ranging from 17 K to 40 K offering an extension to sorption based helium gas-gap heat switch limited to below 20 K. For this prototype, an ON conductance about 74 mW/K and an OFF resistance about 3000 K/W were obtained, giving an ON/OFF conductance ratio about 220 at 20 K in agreement with calculations obtained from a simple model. These characteristics can be further optimized working on the geometry. 相似文献

The very low pressure obtained thanks to adsorption phenomenon at low temperature can be used to build cryogenic heat switches, which offer the possibility to make or break thermal contact between two parts of a cryogenic system. The ON (conducting) and OFF (insulating) states of the switch are obtained by varying the gas pressure between two copper blocks separated by a gap of 100 μm. This pressure is controlled by acting upon the temperature of a small sorption pump (activated charcoal) connected to the gap space. For a “high” sorption pump temperature, the gas previously adsorbed in the sorption pump is released to the gap between the two blocks, allowing a good thermal conduction through the gas (ON state). On the opposite, cooling the sorption pump allows a very good vacuum between the copper blocks, which efficiently break the thermal contact (OFF state). Experimental thermal characteristics (Conductance in the ON and OFF state, ON-OFF switching temperature) of such a “Gas Gap Heat Switch” are described using hydrogen or neon as exchange gas and are compared with theoretical calculations. 相似文献

We introduce a mini 3He refrigerator, operating at ∼300 mK starting from 4.2 K without pumping on the main 4He bath. The innovative idea is that the present one is suitable for a very fast operation; for its use, it is sufficient a storage 4He Dewar. In this way we drastically reduce the time required to cool it down, because there is no need for a classic cryostat. This prototype is particularly aimed for all those operations in which it is necessary to test a large number of samples that do not require long duration measurements at low temperature. 相似文献

It is shown that 3He impurities in sufficiently large 4He systems adsorbed onto substrates with curved geometries form surface bound states, analogous to the Andreev state on a planar liquid--vapor interface. We report the analysis performed for superfluid 4He adsorbed on the external surface of the nano-fullerene C60 and on cylindrical nano-wires of Au. It is found that a single 3He impurity diluted into such adsorbed structures behaves as on films on planar substrates and as on pure 4He clusters. 相似文献

The cryogenic oscillating heat pipe (OHP) for conduction cooling of superconducting magnets was developed and the function was demonstrated successfully. OHP is a highly-efficient heat transfer device using oscillating flow of two-phase mixture. The working fluids that are employed in the present research are Nitrogen, Neon and Hydrogen, and the operating temperatures are 67–91 K, 26–34 K and 17–27 K, respectively. The estimated effective thermal conductivities from the measurement data of the OHP were higher than one of the solids such as copper at low temperature. These results revealed that the cryogenic OHP can enhance the performance of cooling system for magnets. 相似文献

A cryostat including a 3He refrigerator has been designed, built, coupled to a multiband far infrared (FIR) photometer and successfully operated on a balloon flight. Here the cryostat, which is able to cool three bolometers to 0.3 K and one to 1.5 K, is described. The total holding time of the cryostat exceeds 5 days, being limited by exhaustion of the main 4He and N2 baths. The autonomy of the 3He cryostat is more than 50 h, and the recycling time is ≈3 h. The performance of the system in the ARGO 1993 flight is also reported. 相似文献

Eccosorb CR-124 is a castable iron-loaded epoxy resin with excellent absorption properties for electromagnetic waves in the GHz range. It is commonly used in low temperature instruments to absorb thermal radiation. The specific heat c(T) of Eccosorb CR-124 was measured between 800 mK and 6 K with the heat pulse method. The results were fitted to the function , with T being the temperature in Kelvin. In addition, the thermal diffusivity D(T) of Eccosorb CR-124 was determined. At a temperature of 2.3 K, a peak is observed in D(T). Consequently, the thermal conductivity λ(T) of Eccosorb CR-124 features two distinct regimes. Below 2.3 K, it fits the function . Above 2.3 K, it fits the function . 相似文献

The subcooled He I layer, in contact with a large heated surface in a channel filled with the pressurized superfluid He II (He IIp), expands the non-boiling region above the Kapitza region up to qn, above which nucleate boiling sets in. As the bath temperature decreases, qn is increased more rapidly than qλ at which the superfluidity is broken at the centre of the heated surface. The value of qn is increased as the channel gap increases, and is independent of the channel orientation as well as qλ. Metastabilization of superconducting coils may be enhanced by taking the non-boiling limit qn into account. 相似文献

We use structural information from simulations and from variational ground state calculations for calculating the effective mass of 3He at zero temperature. It is found that the relatively large effective mass is due to a combination of several physical effects: Density fluctuations cause an effective mass enhancement due to predominantly hydrodynamic backflow. This effect is, around the Fermi momentum, a smooth function of the single particle wave number; its magnitude is consistent with the effective mass of 4He impurities in 3He. Spin-fluctuations, on the other hand, cause a pronounced peak of the effective mass around the Fermi wave number. We also find, consistent with earlier work, an instability of the single particle spectrum at about 2.5 k
F, this is due to the coupling to density fluctuations in the maxon region. 相似文献

The possibility of Bose-Einstein condensation of excitations has been discussed for a long time. The phenomenon of the phase-coherent
precession of magnetization in superfluid 3He and the related effects of spin superfluidity are based on the true Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons. Several different
states of coherent precession has been observed in 3He-B: homogeneously precessing domain (HPD); persistent signal formed by Q-balls at very low temperatures; coherent precession with fractional magnetization; and a mode of the coherent precession
in compressed aerogel. The coherent precession has been also found in 3He-A in compressed aerogel. Here we demonstrate that all these cases are examples of a Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons,
with the magnon interaction term in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation being provided by different types of spin-orbit coupling
in the background of the coherent precession.

The development, testing and modeling of a “compressor” that is capable of increasing the concentration of the 3He component of a liquid superfluid 3He-4He mixture is discussed. This compressor was developed to drive refrigeration cycles for cooling below 1 K. The compressor design and performance testing is described in detail. The compressor was operated at 1.2 K and 3He molar flow rates of 130 μmol/s were achieved. Compression ratios in excess of 6 were also demonstrated. The theoretical models presented are used to estimate the expected efficiencies of the compressor as well as the effect of the 4He component on the power required to drive the compressor. 相似文献

The recent high-precision torsional oscillator experiments of Casey et al. involving thin films of normal liquid 3He showed that the film decouples from the substrate with a time constant
which is proportional to T
−1 where T is the absolute temperature. We interpret this experiment by adapting a theory due to Meyerovich which was developed for dilute 3He-4He mixtures flowing between two relatively smooth plates. The analysis of the experiment confirms the central idea that
varies as T
−1. The variation of
with film thickness, d, is affected by the change in the shape of the free surface of the film, due to van der Waals forces, as the film becomes thinner. 相似文献

We have studied phase transition of superfluid 3He at 2.4 MPa in cylindrical aerogel by NMR method. When the liquid is cooled down from the normal state, the A-like phase

, the A-like phase is converted into the B-like phase gradually. Both phases stably coexist within about 90 μK. When you keep
the temperature constant in which both phases coexist, the A-B phase conversion stops. With furthermore cooling, the whole
liquid becomes the B-like phase. The cwNMR spectra at the coexistence state suggest that the B-like phase is not uniformly
distributed in the A-like phase like a large number of small bubbles in a liquid, but separated as a whole from the A-like
phase. By applying a field gradient which changes as a function of square of radius, we found that the A-like phase is in
the edge part with a cylindrical shape and the B-like phase is in the central part with a columnar shape.

We have designed and constructed a continuously operating 3He cryostat with windows for laser ablation and spectroscopy. A two-stage pulse-tube refrigerator cools two platforms to base temperatures of approximately 40 K and 4 K respectively. The platforms are equipped with heat exchangers that cool separate streams of 4He and 3He. The 4He stream is used to run a thermally isolated evaporative refrigerator with a base temperature of approximately 1.5 K and a cooling power of 20 mW. The 4He refrigerator is used to condense 3He, which is used to run a 3He evaporative refrigerator on the experimental cell. The cryostat runs continuously at temperatures from 10 K to 0.4 K with a cooling power of 1.5 mW at 0.5 K. 相似文献

A mutual action of the random anisotropy brought in the superfluid 3He by aerogel and of the global anisotropy caused by its deformation is considered. Strong global anisotropy tends to suppress
fluctuations of orientation of the order parameter and stabilizes ABM order parameter. In a limit of vanishing anisotropy
fluctuations of ABM order parameter became critical. It is argued that still in a region of small fluctuations the order parameter
changes its form to be less sensitive to the random anisotropy. For a favorable landscape of the free energy of superfluid
3He the fluctuations remain small even in a limit of vanishing global anisotropy and the long-range order is maintained.

This paper presents a novel and robust proportional detector which addresses the well publicized shortage of 3He gas by using a 10B lining applied to a tubelet configuration. The advantage of the tubelet structure is that it yields a detector maintaining the form factor of a conventional 3He tube whilst achieving a sensitivity of up to 75% of a 3 atm 3He device. The design and fabrication of the tubelet detector is presented and discussed with test data comparing the new detector to existing 3He and BF3 tubes. The application of the tubelet design to security and industrial applications including retro-fitting to existing portals and suitability for high integrity oil and gas installations is addressed. 相似文献

We present measurements of the response of the B-like phase of superfluid 3He in aerogel to an applied flow. The measurements are made using a cylindrical piece of 98% silica aerogel attached to a
vibrating wire resonator. The resonator is immersed in superfluid 3He at 16 bar pressure and at low temperatures. A variable magnetic field is applied such that the aerogel-confined superfluid
may exist in the A-like or B-like phase, while the surrounding fluid is always in the bulk B-phase. The resonator response
reveals a velocity dependence of the inferred aerogel-confined superfluid fraction. We discuss measurements of the temperature
and magnetic field dependence of the response in the B-like phase. We find a significant field dependence indicating a strong
magnetic distortion of the B-like phase order parameter.

The superfluid Joule–Thomson refrigerator (SJTR) uses a liquid superfluid 3He–4He mixture to provide cooling below 1 K. Performance measurements of the SJTR using 5% and 11% 3He concentration mixtures are reported. High concentration operation shows higher cooling powers at high temperature. Ultimate
temperatures are seen to increase with increasing concentration due to a pinching of the temperature defect in the recuperative
heat exchanger. This pinching effect is due to the variation of the heat capacity of the 3He–4He mixture with temperature and concentration and is discussed in detail and design changes are suggested to mitigate it. 相似文献

The kinetics of the temperature and concentration variations in the superfluid 3He–4He mixtures with initial concentration of 9.8% 3He, and heated from below, was studied experimentally under the pressure of 0.38 bar over a temperature range of 150–400 mK.
It is found that in contrast to homogeneous liquids, the temperature and concentration relaxation in phase-separated mixtures
can be described by a superposition of two exponential processes in which the time constants of temperature and concentration
variations coincide. If the initial mixture was homogeneous and phase separation was triggered by a heat flow, the temperature
and concentration vary non-monotonically and exhibit anomalous features at the moment of phase separation. In this case the
phase transition starts in the metastable superfluid, formed out of a quite supersaturated mixture where the nucleation of
the new phase may be caused by quantized vortices. The results are analyzed in terms of two possible mechanisms of relaxation–the
acoustic mechanism with the second sound velocity and the diffusive one connected with dissipative flows of impurity and thermal
excitations. It is shown that the measured relaxation times agree with a prediction of the theory.
