High pressure cell for solid 3He using Stycast 1264

Abstract

The nonmetallic susceptibility cell using Stycast 1264 is described. It withstood pressure up to 25 MPa at low temperature. The tensile strength of Stycast 1264 at room temperature was measured to be 56.0 MPa.

The Relaxation Mechanism in AC Susceptibility of b.c.c. Solid 3 He

“…A sample cell was produced from non-metallic material to allow the high-frequency AC field to penetrate the solid 3He sample. Stycast 1264 was adopted as a new material for low-temperature use to construct the cell which is able to withstand pressures as high as 25 MPa [2]. The susceptibility was measured with a mutual inductance bridge in combination with a lock-in amplifer and a SQUID magnetometer [3].…”
