Single and double torsion oscillators have been used successfully to measure the anomalous change in resonant frequency and accompanying dissipation in solid He-4. We present a glass description of the mechanical anomalies found in torsion…
We report on our design of a scanning gate microscope housed in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator with a base temperature of 15 mK. The recent increase in efficiency of pulse tube cryocoolers has made cryogen-free systems popular in…
In this paper we show experimental evidence of a few correlation regimes of a cold dipolar exciton fluid, created optically in a semiconductor bilayer heterostructure. In the higher temperature regime, the average interaction energy between…
This paper presents the design, safety basis, and commissioning results of a 1 K liquid helium-4 (4He) evaporation refrigerator developed for the Fermilab SpinQuest Experiment (E1039). The system represents the first high power helium…
Liquid Helium is used widely, from hospitals to characterization of materials at low temperatures. Many experiments at low temperatures require liquid Helium, particularly when vibration isolation precludes the use of cryocoolers and when…
This paper introduces an experimental configuration, called the Prandtl-Meyer plus duct arrangement (PMD), designed to study high-enthalpy radiating flows undergoing nonequilibrium de-excitation. The original design proposed by Wilson,…
The temperature driven segregation of Cr to the surface of the tungsten-based WCrY alloy is analysed with low energy ion scattering of He+ ions with an energy of 1 keV in the temperature range from room temperature to 1000 K. Due to the…
We present numerical results of a model calculation for the 3He bilayer system, which captures the interplay between fast and slow dynamics of the different layers and incorporates an independent scale for the three body ring exchange. By…
We report on the realization of a capacitive dilatometer, designed for high-resolution measurements of length changes of a material for temperatures 1.4 K $\leq T \leq$ 300 K and hydrostatic pressure $P \leq$ 250 MPa. Helium ($^4$He) is…
I study non-radiative cooling of X-ray emitting gas via heat conduction along magnetic field lines inside magnetic flux loops in cooling flow clusters of galaxies. I find that such heat conduction can reduce the fraction of energy radiated…
The performance and accuracy of quantum electronics is substantially degraded when the temperature of the electrons in the devices is too high. The electron temperature can be reduced with appropriate thermal anchoring and by filtering both…
We present a semi-analytic theory for the Curie temperature in diluted magnetic semi-conductors that treats disorder effects exactly in the effective Heisenberg Hamiltonian, and spin fluctuations within a local RPA. The exchange couplings…
We present a simple layout of a fast cooling system for liquids in sealed containers utilizing the large temperature gradients of cold nitrogen gas. Our system is optimized for about 20 cylindrical containers of 500 cm3 but the setup allows…
Observations of CH$^+$ are used to trace the physical properties of diffuse clouds, but this requires an accurate understanding of the underlying CH$^+$ chemistry. Until this work, the most uncertain reaction in that chemistry was…
The flow velocity of solid 4He through a porous membrane frozen into a crystal has been measured in the temperature interval 0.1 - 1.8 K. A flat capacitor consisting of a metalized plastic porous membrane and a bulk electrode is applied and…
A series of direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, were conducted to investigate the effect of mixed insulating and conducting boundary conditions on…
In the described device, the thermal emissivity or absorptivity of the sample is measured by substitution of the radiative heat flow between two parallel surfaces by thermal output of a heater. Fast measurements of the mutual emissivity for…
We develop a detailed analysis of electron transport in normal diffusive con- ductors in the presence of proximity induced superconductivity. A rich structure of temperature and energy dependencies for the system condcutcance, density of…
The angstrom-scale coherence length describing the superfluid wavefunction of helium-4 at low temperatures has prevented its preparation in a truly one-dimensional geometry. Mesoporous ordered silica-based structures, such as the molecular…
Iodine (I$_2$) molecules embedded in He nanodroplets are aligned by a 160 ps long laser pulse. The highest degree of alignment, occurring at the peak of the pulse and quantified by $\langle \cos^2 \theta_{2D} \rangle$, is measured as a…
