Objective
Description:
The ULTI III Large-Scale Facility offers expertise and equipment for outside users to undertake measurements at temperatures from 4 Kelvin down to the lowest attainable. The installation is located in the Low Temperature Laboratory (LTL) of the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT). ULTI III, a continuation of TMR ULTI II, will contribute to scientific progress and technical development of ultra low temperature physics in Europe, to serve as a first-rate educational center for young physicists, and to act as a node for scientific collaboration between Russia and the EU countries. The in-house research includes experimental programs on refrigeration and cryogenics in the liquid-helium range and below and experimental and theoretical studies of quantum fluids and solids, nuclear magnetism, and electrical transport in normal and superconducting structures of nanometer size.
Equipment for high-precision optical interferometry at low temperatures and electron beam lithography for making nanosize samples are available as well. The low temperature and nanophysics section of the LTL consists of about 35 persons, of whom 10 are senior scientists. The ULTI III refrigeration equipment includes three sub-millikelvin cryostats, each with a 3He/4He dilution refrigerator for precooling a copper nuclear demagnetization stage. One apparatus can be rotated around its vertical axis up to 40 rev/min, Another is a cascade refrigerator, with two nuclear cooling stages in series, which holds the current low temperature world record of 250 picokelvin. Three smaller cryostats are available for mesoscopic studies down to 50 millikelvin temperatures.
