Abstract
Closed cycle He <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> -He <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sup> dilution cryostats became the platform of choice in quantum sciences in the era of helium shortage. However, in many experiments, the mechanical vibrations induced by the pulsed cryocoolers present a significant drawback reflected both in electronic and mechanical noises. Here, we present a hybrid dilution cryostat platform; we have automated a commercial closed-cycle system to operate on a cryocooler or on a liquid helium ‘battery’. We implemented a scanning SQUID microscope in the hybrid dilution refrigerator. In this work we show the design of the hybrid setup and how its operation eliminates vibration artefacts in magnetic imaging.
