Abstract
As an excellent paramagnetic material with low Curie temperature, Chromium Potassium Alum (CPA) is commonly used in the adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) to achieve extremely low temperatures. A typical ADR consists of many components, such as a salt pill, a superconducting magnet, a heat switch, etc. An experimental system was built to test the performance of a single-stage ADR we designed. A two-stage GM refrigerator was used to provide ADR with a low-temperature environment of less than 4 K. A superfluid helium bath was connected to the ADR, via a mechanical heat switch. In the experiment, the CPA salt pill can be pre-cooled to 1.35 K by the superfluid helium bath. A superconductor power supply is used to magnetize and demagnetize the crystal. After applying a 1 T magnetic field, the single-stage ADR can obtain a minimum temperature of 318.5 mK.
