Description
Experimental Techniques for Low-Temperature Measurements : Cryostat Design, Material Properties, And Superconductor Critical-Current Testing, Hardcover by Ekin, Jack W., ISBN 0198570546, ISBN-13 9780198570547, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Ekin (physics, National Institute of Standards and Technology) provides core information in a manner accessible enough to suit graduate students while meeting the needs of professionals, combining a textbook on cryostat design techniques with a data handbook 50 years in the making that provides materials property data for carrying out that design. On the topic of cryostat design and materials selection Ekin describes measurement cryostats an cooling methods, heat transfer at cryogenic temperatures, cryostat construction, wiring and connections, temperature measurement and control and properties of solids at low temperatures. He also describes sample holders and contacts for electrical and transport measurements and critic-current measurements and data analysis for superconductors. The data handbook is truly impressive and includes cryogenic properties and construction, heat transfer, cryogenic apparatus wiring, temperature measurement tables and controller tuning, properties of solids at low temperatures, specialized resistivity measurement methods, sample contacts and critical-current analysis parameters.
