LTSYS Low Temperature Physics Measurement Systems
attocube systems offers various versions of the two basic systems:
LTSYS-He ultra-stable low temperature physics measurement systems
The basic LTSYS-He4 systems are based on a liquid Helium bath cryostat and optimized for highest stability of your measurements. Options as a variable temperature insert (VTI), a He3 insert, or a dilution refrigerator unit, enable to cover a large temperature range down to the mK regime.Superconducting magnets up to 15 T are compatible with the system. The compatible microscopy inserts range from Confocal Microscopy (CFM) and Scanning Nearfield Optical Microscopy (SNOM) to Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and related techniques (Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) and Electric Force Microscopy (EFM), as well as Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) for measurements with atomic resolution. Furthermore, probe station modules for cryogenic probing of your NEMS/MEMS samples are available.
LTSYS-Cccryogen-free low temperature physics measurement systems
This cooling system includes a cryogen-free closed-cycle cryostat for applications where liquid Helium is not available or desired. Expensive running costs and security issues can be avoided. An optional Adiabatic De-magnetization Refrigerator (ADR), or dilution refrigerator unit enables ultra-low temperature setups. The automation level allows for ‘set and forget‘ operation for non-expert users. For these systems, a variety of Confocal Microscopy (CFM) inserts, the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) insert with MFM and EFM functionality, as well as the probe station inserts are available.

LTSYS-Heultra-stable low temperature physics measurement systems
:.................................................This system is based on a liquid Helium bath cryostat and has been optimized for highest stability. This system enables e.g. ultra high resolution imaging using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) or long-term investigations of single quantum dots over several weeks. A large variety of microscopy and probing heads cover a broad spectrum of measurement tasks. Superconducting magnets up to 15 T are availa-ble with this system.
Three LTSYS-He systems are available:
LTSYS-He�: Dependent on the pumping sys-tem, temperatures down to 1.5 K can be achie-ved. With an additional heating stage the tem-perature of the sample can be swept up to 70 K. A Variable Temperature Insert (VTI, optional) enables sweeping the temperature between 1.8 and 300 K.
LTSYS-He�: Operating down to 300 mK, this state of the art system features integrated designs for the He3 insert with the high effici-ency He bath cryostat. Reduction of the vapor pressure is achieved by an internal sorption pump (charcoal cooling) optimized for lowest vibrations.
