attoDRY1100 touchscreen control of field & temperature The attoDRY1100 offers a truly unique low temperature measurement platform with a fully automated gas handling system. The integrated touchscreen allows for conveniently setting the desired field (B) and temperature (T) without even using a PC. More elaborate measurement schemes such as programmable sweeps of B and T are easily possible via a USB connection and a LabVIEW interface. The toploading design enables quick and easy sample exchange, while offering a generous sample space of 49.7 mm in diameter. The unmatched cooling performance via exchange gas coupling enables probe cooldown times as fast as 1-2 hours, and the initial cooldown time of the complete system is around 10-15 hours including a 9 T magnet. The temperature stability was measured to be better than ±5 mK over 14 hours at 4 K. Last but not least, the attoDRY1100 was specifically designed to provide an ultra-low vibration measurement platform for cryogenic scanning probe experiments without the need for liquid helium. Due to a proprietary design, mechanical vibrations created by the pulse- tube coldhead are decoupled from the measurement platform. When measured with the attoAFM I, vibration amplitudes of less than 0.15 nm RMS are routinely achieved (bandwidth of 200 Hz, vertical direction)*. *Further reading: F.P.
