Objetivo Since April 1, 1993, the Commission of the European Communities is supporting the Ultralow Temperature Facilities of the University Bayreuth within their programme "Human Capital and Mobility" - "Access to Large Installations" (contract number ERB-CHG-CT 920002). The Bayreuth facility consists of four nuclear magnetic refrigerators for microkelvin temperatures and four He-3-He-4 dilution refrigerators for millikelvin temperatures The laboratory has achieved the lowest equilibrium temperature, its refrigerators have the largest cooling capacity for ultralow temperatures, and it has the largest number and variety of refrigerators for micro- and millikelvin temperatures. The Bayreuth ultralow temperature group has experience in many experimental techniques at temperatures of 10 ,uK < 'T < 10 K. The work in Bayreuth is particularly aimed at nuclear magnetism in metals, dynamics of spin-polarized systems, glasses, metal hydrides, superconductivity, spin glasses, liquid and solid helium. The Bayreuth facilities are a frontier research center and advanced training center for young and advanced scientists in the field of ultralow temperatures. As such it is presently used by several groups of various EC countries. Within the "Graduiertenkolleg: Materials and Phenomena at Very Low Temperatures" by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, a special education programme in physics and technology at ultralow temperatures is offered to young researchers. Here it is proposed to make this EC large scale facility also available to researchers from Central and Eastern European countries, in particular to scientists from the Czech Republic and from Slovakia to extend their research in condensed matter physics to lower temperatures, to get acquainted with modern ultralow temperature technology, to improve the technology in their home laboratories, and for specific training of their young scientists in this frontier technology. There exist longstanding scientific contacts between the Bayreuth ultralow temperature group and low temperature physicists from the two mentioned countries, which are a good basis for this project. The proposing groups are the leading low and ultralow temperature groups in Central and Eastern European countries (outside the FSU). The research presented within this proposal (mixed valent compounds and low-dimensional magnetism, transport in semiconductors, nuclear magnetic resonance in metal hydrides and superfluid He-3) fits well to the Bayreuth programme, where research in similar areas is already going on. The samples to be investigated will be produced in the visitors' laboratories and there the scientists will perform preliminary experiments, in particular at higher temperatures before the experiments will be transferred to the Bayreuth ultralow temperature facilities.
