Internal Vibration Isolation for A Cryogen-free Cryostat to Operate Scanning Tunneling Microscopes
Invention Summary:
Cryogen-free cryostats have attracted attention due to their significant reduction in cost and labor to cool systems to cryogenic temperatures. With cryogen-free cryostats helium does not need to be refilled, which allows experiments to run indefinitely without interruption. This also means that the costly drawing from the worlds...
