Characteristically, that all listed above ternary compounds are isostructural homologies and be- long to the TrCr2Si2 structural type. However, research of electronic structure RCuSi (R-Ce,Yb) compounds which belongs to the structural type Fe2P, and also RCu4Al8(structural type ThMn12) had been showed, that and in these compounds’ families the dehybridization phenomenon had been observed also. Thus, the display of dehybridization features in compounds of different structural types isshowed, that the mentioned phenomenon carries universal character. Consequently, it is possible to as- sume that in HTS the exceptional role in the origin of superconductivity plays atoms of copper just due to dehybridizatin influence on the structure of the electronic states. In connection with the expressed circumstances it is necessary to be stopped for finding out of dehybridization origin. Essence of the phenomenon is conditioned, first of all, by the Cu3d-shell electronic structure features. This shell is power stable due to electronic configuration 3d10and compact, able to divide the electronic states of compound’s atoms-components and to activate its to Fermi level. As a result the density of the electronic states at Fermi energies g(E) grows substantially.

It was found that the length of inertance tube whose diameter is 1mm has a more significant influence on the optimal frequency of the pulse tube cryocooler than theiner- tance tube with diameter 3mm. The performances of the pulse tube at each optimal frequency is not significantly affected when the length of inertance tubes with 1mm diameter and3mmdiam- eter is changed . The compressor dynamic behavior as influenced by the inertance tube is investigated too.Itwas found that in the case of the best performance of the cryocooler dynamic behavior of the compres- sor is more sensitive to the length of the inertance tube.

The model is constructed in Lagrange perspective instead of Euler approach. Limited gas amount in the closed system of the cryocooler supplies feasibility for the model. The model is helpful to explain the mechanism of regenerative cryocooler, even inertance tubes in pulse tube cryocooler. Gas in the cryocooler is divided into finite small elements, and by using this model to calculate the physics of the elements in the regenerative cryocooler, processes of gas flow and heat transfer between gas and solid can be present more exactly. Besides, thermodynamic cycle of each gas element can be achieved. Based on the thermodynamic cycles, loss of each gas element in the cooler can be found out easily and it is helpful to improve performance of cryocooler. Cooling process, cold end temperature and many other parameters of the regenerative cryocooler can be predicted by this model Primary authors: Dr CHEN, Houlei (Technical Instituye of Physics and Chemistry, CAS, China); Prof. CAI, Jinghui (Technical Instituye of Physics and Chemistry, CAS, China); Mr TANG, Qingjun (Technical Instituye of Physics and Chemistry, CAS, China) Presenter: Dr CHEN, Houlei (Technical Instituye of Physics and Chemistry, CAS, China) Track Classification: C-02: Cryocoolers- Pulse tube, Stirling, Magnetic and other cool- ers September 30, 2021 Page 9 ICEC/ICMC 2014 … / Report of Contributions Commercial Electronic Componen … Contribution ID: 21 Type: Poster presentation (105min) Commercial Electronic Components and Silicon-on-Sapphire ICs at Extreme Cryogenic Temperatures Tuesday, 8 July 2014 14:15 (1h 45m) Electronic circuits generally perform well at moderately cold temperatures, but can show inter- esting and negative behaviors as extreme cryogenic regimes are reached. This paper looks at the performance of Silicon-on-Sapphire (SOS) and selected commercial silicon devices operating to temperatures at and below the freezing point of nitrogen. While expected freeze-out behavior is observed clearly in a commercial silicon device (1N4001 rectifier), SOS resistors and transistors tested using the same setup did not experience this effect, and in some cases stayed reasonably well-behaved to 5 Kelvin. However, unlike other reported investigations of SOS devices operating at extreme cryogenic temperatures, strong kink-effects were observed, especially for devices oper- ating at low Vgs overdrives (weak inversion). These results point out both problems and promises of developing electronics in an RF and mixed-signal IC process suitable for use in exploring the surface of outer-planets and their moons.

Recently we observed sharp volt- age peaks during rectangular current pulses on HTS tapes cooled by boiling liquid nitrogen. We explain these peaks by analysis of transient cooling regimes in liquid nitrogen. It is common knowl- edge that a homogeneous liquid can withstand certain amount of superheat before switch to the boiling phase. In the transient regimes

It concentrates primarily on cryogenic systems that are commercially available for operation between 1.5 K and 300 K (room temperature). For those users who want to design and build their own equipment, or who are interested in a more detailed analysis of cryogenic systems, a number of excellent references are listed at the end of this booklet. The first section discusses the vacuum requirements of laboratory dewars and variable temperature cryostats. This is followed by a section on liquid helium and liquid nitrogen dewars, and another section on variable temperature cryostats. The next section concentrates on superconducting magnets that are combined with variable temperature cryostats for laboratory experiments, requiring relatively large magnetic fields. Section five describes closed cycle refrigerator cryostats that require no liquid cryogens, and the last section concentrates on experimental techniques, thermometry, and automatic temperature control. This last section also includes a few tables that are helpful in estimating heat loads on the cold stage and attached sample. More detailed information and experimental data are available from the references listed at the end of this booklet. The figures (drawings) spread throughout sections 2 through 6, show a variety of dewar and cryostat designs, based primarily on our experience at Janis.

Fry August 2007 Major Subject: Physics iii ABSTRACT Electrical Properties of Quench-Condensed Thin Film. (August 2007) Kyoungjin Lee, B.S., Korea Military Academy Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Winfried Teizer Electrical properties of thin film have been an issue of interest for a long time and there are many applications in contemporary industry. Interesting characteristics, such as a metal-insulator transition and superconductivity, were investigated and applied to manufacturing of various electrical devices. In this line of study, many experimental techniques have been introduced for precise measurement of the properties of thin film. Quench-condensation is one of the important techniques in the research of thin films. To facilitate this research, we built a quench-condensation apparatus which can be used for a variety of experiments. The apparatus was designed for the fabrication of ultra- thin film and the in-situ measurement at low temperature. The apparatus was shown to operate well for the fabrication of thin films while monitoring the growth in-situ.
