Notes:
We have constructed 4He cryostats which accept samples up to 1.5 in. diam and can be inserted into storage Dewars having large diameter necks. These cryostats are constructed from simple and inexpensive parts, allow temperature controlled operation from 4.2 to 300 K, provide for rapid thermal cycling, and have a load/lock system to prevent exposure of the samples to air or water and to protect lab occupants from toxic materials. Design and construction details are presented and temperature control performance is discussed. Although the cryostat is designed for analysis of superconducting devices, it is useful whenever samples of several cubic inch volume need to be analyzed over a wide cryogenic temperature range with thermal stability and environmental control.
