A. Lohmus et al., AN IMMERSION CRYOSTAT FOR MOUNTING A HIGH-PRESSURE OPTICAL-CELL SURROUNDED BY NONBOILING LIQUID-NITROGEN, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 46, 1996, pp. 2775-2776
A special bubble-free cryostat for precise optical measurements of sam
ples compressed in a high-pressure cell has been built and put into op
eration. Liquid nitrogen around the high-pressure cell is prevented fr
om boiling thanks to a slight overpressure in the closed cryovessel; i
nstead, cryoliquid is boiling at atmospheric pressure inside an evapor
ator.
