Temperature dependence of the time decay of the magnetization in particulate media

The time decay of magnetization in commercial CrO2, gamma-Fe2O3, and Co-doped gamma-Fe2O3 tapes is investigated experimentally at temperatures 6, 50, 100, 200, 250, and 300 K. The decay is found to be linearly dependent on temperature in all four tapes tested, but when the curves are extrapolated to 0 K, there is a large finite intercept - in contrast to similar measurements on ferromagnetic materials and rocks.

Passive motion control of pneumatically driven displacers in cryogenic coolers

The split cryogenic cooler with a remote cold finger offers many advantages for use in cooling of infrared systems. A pneumatic drive for the displacer in such coolers was adopted in many cryocooler designs. This concept can be significantly improved by causing the displacer to move sinusoidally rather than in an essentially square wave, as in most of the present models. The way this motion was achieved passively is described and its advantages outlined. Data of minicoolers using this concept are presented.
