About

Northumbria University awarded a contract to Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc for the procurement of a closed-cycle refrigeration-based cryostat with temperature controller and vacuum-pumping station, valued at £43,000.

The cryostat is designed for impedance and optical spectroscopy, operating in the temperature range of <5K to 320K with a cool-down time to <5K within 4 hours, and a temperature resolution of ±0.1K.

It includes a computer-programmable temperature controller with PC interface, a recirculating chiller system, and a turbomolecular pumping-based vacuum system with pressure gauge and coupling accessories.

The system will support optical, photocurrent, and impedance spectroscopies of semiconductor films and photovoltaic devices, with sample holders for samples up to 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 0.35cm, feedthroughs for DC and AC measurements, and windows for 300-1800 nm range.

This instrumentation is part of a UKRI-EPSRC funded project on Solution-Processed Inorganic Thin-Film Photovoltaic Devices (SolPV).
