The CS204-DMX-20B is our ultra-low vibration closed cycle cryostat for UHV applications. The ARS manufactured DMX-20B interface, like our "B" series cold heads, is a true UHV system (10-11 Torr) where all of the rubber O-ring seals have been replaced with welded joints and metal seals. A CF flange is directly welded to the interface.

The DMX-20B also has the advantage of being easily bakeable to 200 C because the DE-204 cold head can be quickly removed from the DMX-20B interface without breaking vacuum.

The DMX-20 interface opens up a wide range of capabilities never before possible with a closed cycle cryocooler. The CS204-DMX-20-OM uses a helium exchange gas to decouple the sample from the cold tip of the DE-204 cryocooler. This prevents almost all vibration from being transmitted to the sample. Scientists have demonstrated vibration levels as low as 3-5 nm with the CS204F-DMX-20.

Because the exchange gas is inherently less efficient than cooling by conduction, the base temperature of the sample will be 1-2 K higher than the cryocooler. Additionally the DMX-20 interface requires a downward orientation of the cold tip to facilitate convective cooling of the exchange gas.
