Oxford Instruments offers a wide range of optical cryostats which cover most spectroscopy applications.
The range includes helium, nitrogen or even Cryofree® cryostats.
Below you will find some studies using our solutions.
There is a growing need for advanced adsorptions studies (on novel nanoporous materials), and state-of-the-art porous materials characterization, which requires to investigate the effect of temperature on adsorption, mainly because of the ongoing research efforts towards gas storage (hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide) and seperation applications.

The operation of quantum cascade lasers using a cryofree™ optical cryostat has been demonstrated.
The Certificates Department of the Diamond High Council in Antwerp, Belgium, only issues certificates for polished, natural gem diamonds. The detection of synthetic diamonds is hence crucial.
Developement of a highly stable temperature controller for accurate determination of the low temperature noise characteristics of FETs.
Tunnelling through thin organic insulators has been studied very little, due primarily to the difficulty of fabricating pinhole-free organic thin films.
Toshiba Research Europe have used a MicrostatHe Rectangular Tail to help them elucidate the electrical and magnetic properties of cobalt-based Heusler alloys.
An important upgrade was completed of one of the Superconducting-Insulator-Superconducting (SIS) heterodyne receivers at the James Clark Maxwell radio telescope on the Mauna Kea mountain in Hawaii.
A study of the leakage currents of 130 Å tantalum pentoxide films under thermal stress, in order to determine the nature and physical origin of the dominant conduction mechanisms in the insulator.
This article provides an overview of the Photoluminescence application, its associated experimental problems and how they can be overcome.
In most cases, Macromolecular crystals cannot be cooled in the closed, cold-finger type cryostats, as the formation of ice would destroy their crystallinity. An open flow cryostat directs a cold gas stream from a nozzle onto the crystal.
Using the high-spatial resolution of microphotoluminescence (micro-PL) spectroscopy to examine the optoelectronic properties of ordered-Gallium Indium Phosphide (GaInxP1-x) alloys (x=0.48) on a submicron length-scale.
In the past decade, considerable research has been aimed at designing storage devices for use in optoelectronics and photonics. Here we show that c-Si:Er has come of age by demonstrating full write-read-erase optical memory functionality for Si:Er structures.
Development of a spectroscopic imaging technique capable not only of isolating the spectral features of a single Quantum Dot (QD) but also of locating the exact position of a QD under a micron scale aperture.
Investigating the effect of interstitial doping on the magnetic behaviour of cerium based intermetallic compounds.
An investigation of photon generation from single-quantum emitters. Semiconductors have become the field’s materials of choice in such studies, as single-atom impurities in heterogeneous semiconductors form naturally occurring ultimate quantum dots.
