RUN NOVEMBER 2010
First Run with Cu-Stage!
Tests
We did a lot of test with our new build in devices and connected heat-switches.
- Thermometry:
- Test Si-Diode (Model: DT-470-CU): Works great down to approximately 1.1K There is only a small deviation of 0.1K at 4.2K. So we should do some small corrections of the calibration curve.
- Test PdFe- Susceptibility Thermometer: Doesn't work!
- Test ET- Susceptibility Thermometer: Works! :)
- Test Pt-NMR: Works so far. Frozen in a persistent current of 1.5A, but we weren't able to read out the NMR quit well since we didn't know whether the Cu-stage was cold or not.
- FPD: Read-out doesn't work with the digital Lock-In amplifier ITHACO 3961B due to its too high noise on the analog signal output. Therefore we changed to a analog Lock-In amplifier (ITHACO 393). With this device we are now able to detect all five TC's.
- Persistent Current Switch:
- Test PCS of Pt-NMR: Works! (1.5Amp)
- Test Heat-Switch of Cu-Stage: Doesn't work! :( Seems like the superconducting wire has a small ohmic resistance of a few m. This leads to small heating of some mW and causes the shunting via the 4K-flange!
