Lets make a decision on the cryogenic liquid He-3 and He-4 are our cryogenic liquids of choice, inert and lowest boiling and melting point
Terrestrial availability of He-4 • He-4 • Alpha particle from radioactive decay of Uranium and Thorium • Half-life of =4.5× years; • Half-live of = 1.4× years; • Light gas, once released escapes from earth’s atmosphere • Trapped in few natural gas mines at ~1%
Cooling to T 4.2K Liq He4 @ 4.2K Sample Outer Vacuum jacket
Cooling to T 1.3K To He4 pump Liquid He4 Liq He4 @ 4.2K Inner Vacuum jacket Liq He4 @ 1.3K Sample Outer Vacuum jacket 40% of the liquid He4 has to be evaporated to cool to 1.3K
Cooling to T 0.3K To He4 pump To He3 pump Liquid He4 Liq He4 @ 4.2K Inner vacuum jacket 1.3K Sample Liq He3 @ 0.3K Outer Vacuum jacket 20% of the liquid He3 has to be evaporated to cool to 0.3K
Closed Cycle He3 Fridge T 0.3K To He4 pump Charcoal pump with heater Liquid He4 Liq He4 @ 4.2K Inner vacuum jacket 1.3K Sample Liq He3 @ 0.3K Outer Vacuum jacket 20% of the liquid He3 has to be evaporated to cool to 0.3K
Cooling to T 10mK : Working principle Liq. He3 + Liq. He4 Liq He3 Liq He4 < Has to absorb latent heat of mixing from the surroundings He3/He4 mixture, more disordered state, Two phase separated liquids, more ordered state ,
