Product Description
Cryogenics (low temperature physics) has become a critical component of every day life through its use in satellite communications, medical diagnosis, natural gas transport, infrared surveillance, and many more applications. In this new edition of one of the leading books in the field, the authors explain the underlying principles and effects of cooling systems, liquid nitrogen, liquid helium and the approach to absolute zero. Accompanied by instructive illustrations throughout, the text covers all aspects of cryogenics including, a historical perspective, basic physics, construction techniques, thermometry, materials data, references and data sources, and information on commercial suppliers. No other book provides such a focused and up-to-date look at the techniques and practical applications of low temperature experimentation. |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 1 review)

For low temperature experiments. 
This is the first book, I came across, in low temperature techniques. Useful for people carrying out low temperature experiments. This book does not deal with ultra low temperatures, that is temperatures below 1K, adequately. Does not write about the modern dilution refrigeratures. However, if one needs some low temperature technique information or low temperaure material data, then one can look in to this book. The book is very clearly written and still useful, although several new books on this topic have been published.
