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 carrying out 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 - including heat-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 the measurement 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 of experts and over fifty years of literature.

Industry Reviews

`I could not wait for this book to appear in print. I will make it required reading for anyone designing cryogenic probes for use in our laboratory.

' Bruce Brandt, U.S. National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Tallahassee, Florida `I am very impressed with the mixture of rigour and practicality that the book offers. [...] The charts are a treasure trove of practical information.' Mark Colclough, University of Birmingham `... an invaluable resource to interested scientists and engineers. ' Adam Gromko, University of Colorado, Boulder
