Zusatztext I really liked the example calculations [...] If you don't find the information in the text, one can be sure that it's in the Appendix. This makes the text a 'stand-alone' book on cryostat design. Informationen zum Autor Jack EkinNISTDiv. 818.03325 Broadway St.Boulder, CO 80305, USAJack Ekin is a Research Physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, where his contributions have spanned a wide range of topics in low-temperature physics, including studies of fundamental conduction processes in normal metals, electro-mechanical properties of both high- and low-Tc superconductors, and interface conduction in thin films and nanostructures. He completed a B.S. degree at the University of Michigan, conducted his early graduate work in physics at the University of Heidelberg as a Fulbright Scholar, and received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Cornell University. Currently, he also holds an appointment as Lecturer at the University of Colorado. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He has published over 150 cryogenic research articles, textbook chapters, and patents, and has lectured and consulted internationally in the field of low-temperature measurements. Klappentext This book presents a highly integrated! step-by-step approach to the design and construction of low-temperature measurement apparatus. It is effectively two books in one: A textbook on cryostat design techniques and an appendix data handbook that provides materials-property data for carryingout that design. The main text encompasses a wide range of information! written for specialists! without leaving beginning students behind. After summarizing cooling methods! Part I provides core information in an accessible style on techniques for cryostat design and fabrication - includingheat-transfer design! selection of materials! construction! wiring! and thermometry! accompanied by many graphs! data! and clear examples. Part II gives a practical user's perspective of sample mounting techniques and contact technology. Part III applies the information from Parts I and II to themeasurement and analysis of superconductor critical currents! including in-depth measurement techniques and the latest developments in data analysis and scaling theory. The appendix is a ready reference handbook for cryostat design! encompassing seventy tables compiled from the contributions ofexperts and over fifty years of literature.
