3HELIUM SYSTEMS

Model HE-3-BLSUHV-STM Cryostat

Description:

The model HE-3-BLSUHV-STM cryostat was developed for Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) application with sample in UHV environment.

A UHV sample preparation chamber can be installed at the bottom of the cryostat; and the user is able to lower the He-3 insert with a linear motion manipulator and locate the STM inside the UHV chamber for sample change.

A special "helium-only" dewar with double helium vapor cooled radiation shields was developed for this system in order to minimize the vibration.  No liquid nitrogen reservoir is employed in this cryostat.

An "isolation" helium reservoir separates the UHV sample space from the dewar vacuum space.  It minimizes the UHV space and makes the UHV pumping easier. 

A self-contained UHV compatible He-3 insert is included in this system, and multiple measurements are taken to guarantee the alignment of this insert during its sample change and normal operation.

A high field superconducting magnet is included.

This He-3 cryostat includes the following components:

  • Vapor cooled helium dewar
  • Helium isolation reservoir
  • Self-contained He-3 insert with all thermometers and heaters for operation
  • Superconducting magnet
  • UHV compatible linear motion manipulator
  • UHV compatible feedthrough manifold
  • UHV compatible aligner
  • Operation test
