FYSS6325 Cryogenics (5 cr)
Description
Content
Properties of cryoliquids; solid matter at low temperatures; thermal conductance and isolation; Helium-4 and closed cycle cryostats; Helium-3 cryostats; He3-He4 dilution refrigeration; Pomeranchuck cooling; adiabatic demagnetization; adiabatic nuclear demagnetization; temperature scales and fixed points; low temperature thermometry; cryogenic devices
Completion methods
Assignments, participants teach (presentation), project work, examination
Assessment details
To pass the course, students need to have at least the minimum score defined by the teacher for assessments (such as assignments, project work, participation, examination, total points). The course grade is divided into component parts (i.e. individual assessments) and each part is worth some percentage of the total grade (e.g. 30 % assignments, 10 % participation, 10 % project work, 50 % examination).
