We have measured the forward characteristics of a GaAlAs temperature sensor diode (Lake Shore) in the temperature range 10–70 K and for fixed current values between 10 nA to 500 μA. On the basis of certain extrapolations, we suggest that these diodes can be used for temperature measurement at at ultra low temperatures.

The forward characteristics of a cryogenic GaAlAs temperature sensor diode (Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc.) have been presented in the temperature range 10–300 K and for fixed current values between 10 nA and 500 μA. The upturn in the forward characteristic below 35 K was found to shift to lower temperatures by reducing the current. The sensitivity at low temperature was found to reduce with current (I) according to a power law. The sensitivity at high temperature was found to increase linearly with decrease in lg (I).

We report, for the first time, experiments of persistent photoconductivity (PPC) in thin films of manganese perovskites La 0.7 Ca 0.25 Ba 0.05 MnO 3 and La 0.7 Ca 0.2 Ba 0.1 MnO 3 showing a persistent decrease of a few percent of the resistance after illumination with visible light. These persistent photoinduced effects are seen only in a range of low temperatures (<25 K) well below the insulator-metal transition at respectively T c=173 K and T c=120 K. In this low temperature range, the transport mechanism is rather of activated hopping type regime.


Observations are reported of the ferromagnetic domain structure of natural and synthetic single crystals, made at temperatures close to the low temperature transition with the aid of an acetone based magnetic colloid. The domain structure of the synthetic crystals was found to change radically over a small temperature range centred around –12 °C. These changes are correlated with the measured remanent magnetization. Fairly extensive colloid patterns were found on the natural crystals at low temperatures but when the natural crystals were annealed at 1200 °C this low temperature colloid structure was no longer found.

Na2ZrO3 was synthetized via solid-state and tested in a low temperature range (30–80 °C) for carbonation and decarbonation processes using RH values between 0 and 80%. Results confirm that it is possible to accomplish successively at least 8 cycles.

Abstract The magnetic susceptibility of powder samples of Sm2(WO4)3 has been measured in the temperature range 4.2 to 300 K. At low temperatures the measured values disagree with those calculated for Sm3+-ions using Van Vleck's theory. The high values below 100 K are assigned to magnetic exchange and dipol interactions. There might be magnetic ordering below 4.2 K. The effects of the crystal field and impurities have been shown to be unimportant.

In this paper we report on the performance of 4H-SiC bipolar diodes as temperature sensors far beyond 273K. The sensor is measured from 150K to 445K covering a temperature range of 295K. In this operating temperature range, the sensor characteristic VD-T is highly linear and it is dominated by the typical dependence of the p-i-n diode voltage on the temperature. The sensor sensitivity is -4.48mV/K for a diode current of 2nA with a maximum error of 4.3K across the full temperature range. Although 4H-SiC p-i-n are mainly focused on very high temperature applications, our analysis on the performance of bipolar diodes at low temperatures highlights its feasibility as temperature sensor for aerospace and high altitude applications where cryogenic temperatures are achieved.

ABSTRACTThe low temperature thermally stimulated conductivity (TSC) in a-Si:H film has been investigated in the temperature range from 20 to 150 K. Unlike the results of the high temperature TSC, the low temperature peak value and position (Tm) of TSC do not depend on the starting temperature T0 at low temperatures. This new phenomenon can not be explained by TSC theory [1]. Based on the multiple trapping (MT) Model, TSC theory limits its application to the intermediate and high temperature range. In this paper, a model of the hopping conduction with the transport energy Et in the band tail is proposed to understand the behavior of the low temperature TSC in which the thermal emission energy Em does not depend on the starting temperature of TSC.

Summary statementEctotherms thrive within an often remarkable temperature range. At low temperature, betaTub97EF, a beta-tubulin paralog stabilizing microtubules, is upregulated in a tissue-specific manner in the fly Drosophila melanogaster.AbstractCells in ectotherms function normally within an often wide temperature range. As temperature dependence is not uniform across all the distinct biological processes, acclimation presumably requires complex regulation. The molecular mechanisms coping with the disruptive effects of temperature variation are still poorly understood. Interestingly, one of five different beta-tubulin paralogs, betaTub97EF, was among the genes up-regulated at low temperature in cultured Drosophila cells. As microtubules are known to be cold-sensitive, we analyzed whether betaTub97EF protects microtubules at low temperatures. During development at the optimal temperature (25°C), betaTub97EF was expressed in a tissue-specific pattern primarily in the gut. There, as well as in hemocytes, expression was increased at low temperature (14°C). While betaTub97EF mutants were viable and fertile at 25°C, their sensitivity within the well-tolerated range was slightly enhanced during embryogenesis specifically at low temperatures. Changing beta-tubulin isoform ratios in hemocytes demonstrated that beta-Tubulin 97EF has a pronounced microtubule stabilizing effect. Moreover, betaTub97EF is required for normal microtubule stability in the gut. These results suggest that betaTub97EF up-regulation at low temperature contributes to acclimation by stabilizing microtubules.

This paper puts forward an idea of designing a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor to provide a research basis for subsequent researchers. We have made a SAW temperature sensor based on this idea. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of the idea, and shown that the frequency-temperature characteristic of the sensing unit is good and the temperature measurement accuracy of the testing unit is high.
