World’s fastest cryogenic refrigerator released – The ADR option for the PPMS
On September 3rd, 2014 Quantum Design Japan and Tohoku University launched a press release for the introduction of the “World’s fastest < 100 mK cryogenic refrigerator ADR (Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator) for PPMS”. The ADR option is a co-development of Quantum Design Japan and Prof. Dai Aoki, at the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University.
This ADR has been designed for the QD PPMS, E/C II, and DynaCool platforms, decreasing the PPMS temperature range down to < 100 mK from room temperature in < 3 hrs for DC resistivity measurements.
Without the ADR, large dilution refrigerators are required to reach less than 100 mK from room temperature and they take much more time to do so. The supply of liquid helium is getting more and more uncertain. The QD ADR helps minimizing the use of it thus eliminating the risk of shortage.
