We describe a solid-state mutual inductance bridge suitable for low-temperature thermometry and susceptibility measurements. The design features an electronically simulated variable mutual inductance. Particular care is taken to reduce spurious capacitive effects. The bridge is highly stable and linear. It has a resolution of 10(-4) over the range 15 microH to 150 mH, and a noise limited sensitivity of 55 I(p) (-1) nH with a l-s time constant, where I(p) is the rms primary current in mA. Application to thermometry is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
