Magetoresistance of RuO 2 - based resistance thermometers below 0 . 3 K

چکیده
We have determined the magnetoresistance of RuO2-based resistors (Scientific Instruments RO-600) between 0.05 K and 0.3 K in magnetic fields up to 8 T. The magnetoresistance is negative around 0.5 T and then becomes positive at larger fields. The magnitude of the negative magnetoresistance increases rapidly as the temperature is lowered, while that of the positive magnetoresistance has smaller temperature dependence. We have also examined the temperature dependence of the resistance below 50 mK in zero magnetic field. It is described in the context of variable-range-hopping conduction down to 15 mK. Hence, the resistors can be used as thermometers down to at least 15 mK.

AC measurement of heat capacity and magnetocaloric effect for pulsed magnetic fields.
A new calorimeter for measurements of the heat capacity and magnetocaloric effect of small samples in pulsed magnetic fields is discussed for the exploration of thermal and thermodynamic properties at temperatures down to 2 K. We tested the method up to μ(0)H=50 T, but it could be extended to higher fields. For these measurements we used carefully calibrated bare-chip Cernox(®) and RuO(2) therm...
متن کاملUnconventional superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4
We have performed ZF-lSR measurements of Sr 2 RuO 4 and have observed a spontaneous magnetic "eld below 1 # . This observation, combined with other symmetry considerations demonstrates that superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4 is of &p-wave' (odd-parity) type. Our transverse "eld lSR measurements in the mixed state with B"150 GDDc( clearly indicate the presence of a square #ux lattice. We have analy...

Abal~ct We have studied electron heating in a 2DEG in GaAs/AIGaAs heterojunctions below 0.5 IC The electron temperature was raised above the lattice temperature using Joule heat/n& Weak localiT~tion and the temperature-dependent sample resistance were used as thermometers for the electrons. The electron-phonon energy relaxation rate was found to be proportional to T s. We find that the relaxati...
متن کاملStructures and properties of zirconia-supported ruthenium oxide catalysts for the selective oxidation of methanol to methyl formate.
The effects of RuO(x) structure on the selective oxidation of methanol to methyl formate (MF) at low temperatures were examined on ZrO(2)-supported RuO(x) catalysts with a range of Ru surface densities (0.2-3.8 Ru/nm(2)). Their structure was characterized using complementary methods (X-ray diffraction, Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectra, and reduction dynamics). The structure and reactivity ...
متن کاملTransition into a low temperature supercon - ducting phase of unconventional pinning in Sr 2 RuO 4
We have found a sharp transition in the vortex creep rates at a temperature T * = 0.05T c in a single crystal of Sr 2 RuO 4 (T c = 1.03 K) by means of magnetic relaxation measurements. For T < T * , the initial creep rates drop to undetectable low levels. One explanation for this transition into a phase with such extremely low vortex creep is that the low-temperature phase of Sr 2 RuO 4 breaks ...
