It is a new type of material with unique electronic structure and physical properties that can help scientists better understand and manipulate quantum phenomena.

[0046] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0047] See also Figure 1-4 A continuous flow differential decompression ultra-high vacuum low temperature device, including a low temperature thermostat 2, a refrigeration module 1 and a temperature control module 3. The low temperature thermostat 2 adopts ultra-high vacuum materials and processes, is compatible with ultra-high vacuum environments, and can be baked to 200°C.

The pumping speed of the circulating pump at the first exhaust port 601 is greater than the pumping speed of the circulating pump at the second exhaust port 602.

[0048] like Figure 2-Figure 4 , wherein the tube shell 8 is divided into an upper tube shell 801 and a lower tube shell 802, which are connected in the middle by an adapter plate 14. Insulating baffles 12 are arranged at equal intervals inside the tube shell 8 to reduce the influence of room temperature heat radiation on the low temperature environment of the sample holder 906. The guide tube 4, the flow switch 5 and the exhaust pipe 10 are wrapped by the tube shell 8, penetrate the insulating baffle 12 and extend downward into the low temperature cavity 9; the outer wall of the tube shell 8 is provided with an instrument group 7, an exhaust port 6, and a defroster 11; the defroster 11, the instrument group 7, and the low temperature cavity 9 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the low temperature cavity 9 is arranged at the lower end of the tube shell 8 through a sealing flange 13;

[0049] The conduit 4 is made of stainless steel, and the cryogenic transmission pipeline 103 of the refrigeration module 1 can be inserted into the conduit 4 to transmit liquid helium to the cryostat 2 .

[0050] The exhaust port 6 includes a first exhaust port 601 and a second exhaust port 602. The first exhaust port 601 is connected to the 1.3K pool 904 through the exhaust pipe 10; the second exhaust port 602 is connected to the internal space of the upper tube shell 801; the exhaust pipe 10 is made of stainless steel, and the vaporized low-temperature helium is extracted along the exhaust pipe 10.

[0051] The temperature of the extracted low-temperature helium is much lower than the room temperature. By arranging a defroster 11 on the outer wall of the upper tube shell 801, frost and condensed water droplets are prevented from forming near the air extraction port 6. The defroster 11 also covers the second air extraction port 602.

[0052] The instrument group 7 is provided with an electrical interface 701, a vacuum port 702 and a spare interface.

The spare interface is usually sealed with a blind flange, and the joint can be changed according to the subsequent equipment upgrade requirements.

[0053] The flow switch 5 includes a needle valve knob 501, a connecting rod 502 and a valve body 503, which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom.

Cryogenic helium can enter the liquid guide tube 907 from the 2K pool 903 through the small hole. The flow rate of cryogenic helium entering the valve body 503 can be controlled by adjusting the needle valve knob 501, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the temperature.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the cryogenic chamber 9 includes a protective cover 901, a cold shield 902, a 2K cell 903, a 1.3K cell 904, a vaporizer 905 and a sample holder 906; the 2K cell 903, the 1.3K cell 904, the vaporizer 905 and the sample holder 906 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the protective cover 901 and the cold shield 902 are arranged in sequence from outside to inside.

[0055] The protective cover 901 is installed on the bottom surface of the sealing flange 13. The sealing flange 13 is specifically a knife-edge flange with good sealing performance. The interior of the protective cover 901 is an ultra-high vacuum environment. On the one hand, it provides solid protection for the cryostat 2, and on the other hand, it can effectively reduce the impact of room temperature thermal radiation on the low temperature environment;

[0056] The cold shield 902 is an open cylindrical structure and is installed on the bottom surface of the adapter plate 14;

[0057] The 2K pool 903 and the 1.3K pool 904 are closed cavities and are independent of each other, separated by a partition in the middle, and low-temperature helium can enter the liquid guide tube 907 from the 2K pool 903 through the small hole in the valve body 503;

[0058] The 2K pool 903 is connected to the space inside the tube shell 8 through the top gap, and the low-temperature helium in the pool flows upward along the tube wall under the pumping action of the second exhaust port 602;

[0059] The 1.3K cell 904 is a funnel-shaped structure, and the valve body 503 is connected to the vaporizer 905 through a liquid guide tube 907; the liquid guide tube 907 is a stainless steel capillary; the vaporizer 905 is a matrix-type porous structure, one end of which is connected to the liquid guide tube 907, and the other end is connected to the 1.3K cell 904; the low-temperature helium enters the vaporizer 905 along the liquid guide tube 907, and the vaporized helium enters the 1.3K cell 904 and flows out of the vacuum tube 10 under the pumping action of the first vacuum port 601; by adding the 1.3K cell 904 and further evacuating it, the pressure difference at both ends of the valve body 503 is increased, the throttling effect of the low-temperature helium is further improved, and the temperature at the sample holder 906 is further reduced.

[0060] A thermometer and a heater are installed at the sample holder 906 and are connected to the temperature control module 3 via an electrical connector on the instrument group 7 .

[0061] When the system is working, first follow Figure 1 Connect the modules of the system so that the cryogenic transmission pipeline 103 is connected to the conduit 4, the first and second air extraction ports 602 are connected to the helium pipeline 104 after passing through a group of circulation pumps and flow meters 106 respectively, and the temperature control module 3 is electrically connected to the cryogenic thermostat.

[0062] Next, a vacuum environment is prepared, and a vacuum pump is used to evacuate the cryostat 2 and the refrigeration module 1 .

[0063] Then, the low-temperature thermostat 2 is cooled, and the compressor 101, the refrigerator 102 and the circulating pump group 105 are started. The circulating pump group 105 drives the helium to circulate between the refrigeration module 1 and the low-temperature thermostat 2, and the pumping speed of the first pumping port 601 is greater than the pumping speed of the second pumping port 602. After the helium enters the refrigeration module 1 and is liquefied, the low-temperature helium is introduced into the 2K pool 903 through the super-insulation pipeline and the conduit 4. The flow switch 5 is fine-tuned by observing the reading of the flow meter 106. At this time, the low-temperature helium enters the vaporizer 905 through the valve body 503 and the liquid guide tube 907. After throttling and cooling of the vaporizer 905, the temperature of the 1.3K pool 904 is further reduced to <1.3K. The temperature at the sample holder 906 can be subjected to a temperature change test of <1.3K-500K under the action of the temperature control module 3. The cryostat 2 vaporizes the liquid helium transmitted from the refrigeration module 1 in the vaporizer 905. On this basis, combined with the throttling effect of the flow switch 5 and the differential pressure reduction design at the 1.3K pool 904, the cryostat 2 can change and control the temperature in a wider temperature range. The independent structure ensures low vibration characteristics and greatly saves the use cost.
