| Research Abstract |
In the field of cryogenics, cold media such as helium and technics of generation for low temperatures are important. For gas refrigeration, high efficient reservoirs are necessary to generate very low temperatures. The reservoir receives the heat carried out by the Carnot cycle.
Pb has conventionally used as a reservoir. In this case, it is impossible to generate low temperatures below 10 K.This prevents using widely helium. In the present study, the development of the high efficient reservoir has been carried out in order to overcome the berrier mentioned above.
Until last year, various compounds and alloys with a heat capacity as large as possible have been investigated. It has become clear by low-temperature specific heat measurements that rare earth compound HoPb_2 with a large magnetic moment has a large heat capacity, compared with that of Er-Ni compounds which have high potentials for applications. However, this compound is not so good as the reservoir because of the ready oxidation at atmosphere. The low temperature specific heat measurements for amorphous alloys with a large random magnetic anisotropy and quasicrystals containing rare earth element have been carried out. However, the heat capacity for these materials is not so large to use the reservoir.
From these results, it is concluded that the improvement of the atmospheric resistance of HoPb_2 is necessary for application.
