| Research Abstract |
In our previous works, the opration of the helium-filled proportional counter (HFPC) was investigated at low tempertures down to 5 K. It was found for the first time that the HFPC cooled at very low temperatures (near liquid-helium temperature, i.e., 4.2 K) works well in the proportional region, but with low gas gains below 200. A main purpose of the present work is to extend the HFPC technique to temperatures below 4.2 K and to apply it to the cryogenic resonance electron Mossbauer spectroscopy (REMS).
Using a new whole counter system with a metal dryostat and a HFPC specially designed for this work, we hver succeeded to detect electrons emitted from samples cooled at low temperatures (1.75-4.2 K). The lowest temperature we obtained by helium pumping is 1.75 K. New informations on the mechanism of the HFPC operation at such low temperatures have also been obtained: (1) The gas gain does not depent on the gas temperature. (2) The anode voltage to induce the continuous discharge becomes lower as the gas emperture is decreased.
The REMS measurements in the region below 4.2 K is now possible with the technique develiped by the present work. Many studies with the cryogenic REMS, e.g., corrosions on iron foil and ultra thin iron oxide layers, are now in progress in Radioisotope Research Center of Kyoto University.
