With the rising adoption of dry dilution refrigerators across scientific and industrial domains, there has been a pressing demand for highly efficient vibration decoupling systems capable of operation at cryogenic temperatures in order to…
We measure the current noise of several cryogenic cables in a pulse tube based dilution refrigerator at frequencies between about 1~mHz and 50~kHz. We show that vibration-induced noise can be efficiently suppressed by using vacuum-insulated…
A cryogen-free cryostat cooled using a 4 K commercial GM or pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) displays temperature oscillations caused by the intrinsic working principle of the regenerative cryocooler. To dampen such oscillations usually requires…
Pulse-tube based dilution refrigerators are massively employed in low temperature physics. They allow to reduce the running costs and to be operated with unprecedented easiness. However, the main drawback of this technology is the…
Vibrations in cryocoolers are a recurrent concern to the end user. They appear in different parts of the acoustic spectrum depending on the refrigerator type, Gifford McMahon or pulse-tube, and with a variable coupling strength to the…
A cryogen-free cryostat cooled by a closed cycle cryocooler is compact, can provide uninterrupted long-term operation (up to ten thousand hours) and is suited to temperatures from 3 K to 300 K. Its intrinsic temperature oscillation,…
We describe a liquid-cryogen free cryostat with ultra-low vibration levels which allows for continuous operation of a torsion balance at cryogenic temperatures. The apparatus uses a commercially available two-stage pulse-tube cooler and…
A two-stage Stirling-type U-shape pulse tube cryocooler driven by a 10 kW-class linear compressor was designed, built and tested. A special feature of the cold head is the absence of a heat exchanger at the cold end of the first stage,…
Cryogen-free low-temperature setups are becoming more prominent in experimental science due to their convenience and reliability, and concern about the increasing scarcity of helium as a natural resource. Despite not having any moving parts…
A shift of paradigm to obtain (sub-)Kelvin environment is currently on-going with the democratization of cryogen-free cryocoolers, boosted by their easy-to-use and continuous operation without the need of liquid helium whose cost and…
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…
Pulse tube refrigerators are becoming more common, because they are cost efficient and demand less handling than conventional (wet) refrigerators. However, a downside of a pulse tube system is the vibration level at the cold-head, which is…
This article presents an evaluation of off-the-shelf commercial accelerometers at the mixing chamber stage of a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator at temperatures down to 8 mK. In addition, we present results of radioassay of accelerometer…
We present the design and implementation of a mechanical low-pass filter vibration isolation used to reduce the vibrational noise in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator operated at 10 mK, intended for scanning probe techniques. We discuss…
We report the design and performance of a cryogen-free, pulse-tube refrigerator (PTR)-based scanning probe microscopy (SPM) system capable of operating at the base temperature of near 5K. We achieve this by combining a home-made interface…
A low maintenance long-term operational cryogenic sapphire oscillator has been implemented at 11.2 GHz using an ultra-low-vibration cryostat and pulse-tube cryocooler. It is currently the world's most stable microwave oscillator employing a…
This manuscript reports a set of acceleration measurements in the frequency range from 0 to 50 kHz performed at the mixing chamber plate (2 axes) and the top flange (3 axes) of a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator. Various configurations of…
Here we report the performance of a small scale 4 K pulse tube cryocooler operating with a low input power reaching a minimum temperature of 2.2 K, as well as a cooling capacity of over 240 mW at 4.2 K. The compressor is air cooled and can…
Cryogenic quantum sensing techniques are developing alongside the ever-increasing requirements for noiseless experimental environments. For instance, several groups have isolated internal system vibrations from cold heads in closed-cycle…
Dry Dilution Refrigerators (DDR) based on pulse tube cryo-coolers have started to replace Wet Dilution Refrigerators (WDR) due to the ease and low cost of operation. However these advantages come at the cost of increased vibrations, induced…
