QUANTUM COHERENT TRANSPORT: LONG-RANGE QUASIPARTICLE COHERENCE IN NS SYSTEMS
1. Null–picovoltmeter for precise electric measurements of kinetic, thermodynamic, and magnetic properties
of conducting systems at low temperatures, with an accuracy of potential difference registration to 10-12 V
(level of macroscopic manifestation of quantum effects). Device operating is based on the principle which does not have any analogue
(protected by two USSR patents) of periodic commutation of a superconductor state by self–consistent thermal and magnetic fields
created by a linear conductor with current of special form [Prib. Tekhn. Eksp.,
1, 202 (1985)].
2. Non–standard equipment for studying properties of solids in a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields:
* Cryostat with pumping system and pressure stabilization (DP » 10–3 mm Hg) of low temperature fluids within temperature range from 1.4 to 300 K.
* High–stabilized dc current supply (DI/I »10-6÷10-4).
* Magnetic field supply (superconducting solenoids and Kapitsa magnet) for fields up to 4 T.
