A liquid neon cryostat for testing high-critical temperature materials.

Author(s) : RICHARDSON R. N., TAVNER A. C. R., SCURLOCK R. G.

Summary

Power applications of the new high-critical temperature superconductors will only be achieved using BSCCO materials operating at temperatures below about 40 K. A boiling point of 27.1 K and high specific cooling capacity make neon an eminently suitable choice of refrigerant at these temperatures. A cryostat is being constructed which employs a two-stage Gifford-McMahon cooler to liquefy neon gas.
