What Are the Types of Cryostats Used in Nanotechnology?
Several types of cryostats are employed, each suited to different applications. Some common types include:
- Continuous Flow Cryostats: These use a continuous flow of cryogenic liquid (like liquid helium) to maintain low temperatures. - Closed-Cycle Cryostats: These do not require a continuous supply of cryogenic liquids, making them more convenient for long-term experiments. - Superconducting Magnet Cryostats: These are used for experiments involving strong magnetic fields at cryogenic temperatures.
