Note: a simple spring-pressed heat link for low temperature vacuum environment

Rev Sci Instrum. 2012 May;83(5):056102. doi: 10.1063/1.4712287.

Abstract

A simple spring-pressed design aimed at improving low temperature solid-solid heat link is reported. The essence of the design is to separate the contact pressure control from heat conduction. This design is especially useful for quick sample exchange in cryogen-free cryostat with demountable sample holder.
