Developing compact tuning fork thermometers for sub-mK temperatures and high magnetic fields
Abstract
There is a growing demand for experiments on calorimetric and thermal transport measurements at ultra-low temperatures below 1 mK and high magnetic fields up to 16 T. Particularly, milligram-sized solid samples are of great interest. We present the development of scalable thermometers based on quartz tuning fork resonators immersed in liquid 3 He and adapt hydrodynamic models to provide an improved description of temperature dependence in the high viscosity regime between 1 and 10 mK. We demonstrate successful thermometer operation and discuss the feasibility of fast and compact thermal probes suitable for small samples.
