Description
Cryocooler-based cryostat, Lake Shore – Janis Model CCS-100/204, with integrated DAC.
This turn-key low temperature and high pressure diamond anvil cell system is extremely simple to use. The nominal temperature range is about 10 K up to 325 K, although lower temperatures are achievable.
This is essentially a bench-top cryostat and high pressure system, which is ideal for scattering as well as optical work.
The second stage cold finger comes with a 38 mm diameter copper sample mount, 50 ohm control heater, and silicon diode temperature sensor.
A special large-diameter optical radiation shield mounted on first stage is also included. The standard optical vacuum shroud is four (4) 41.4 mm diameter clear view windows. Various windows materials are possible, such as fused silica and mylar, for example.
The cryostat’s instrumentation skirt includes one 10-pin electrical feedthrough for heater and temperature sensors, one o-ring compression seal port, one blank feedthrough port, evacuation valve and safety pressure relief valve.
A special sample holder to fit either Bragg-LT(G) or OmniDAC-LT cells and integrated gas line to enable gas membrane DAC operation are also included. Naturally, other cells from our range may be accommodated.
Options for the Diacell® CCS-DAC System include:
♦ An integrated Optiprexx RubyLux system automated for ruby fluorescence manometry at low temperatures, including laser, transfer optics, spectrometer and fibre optic.
♦ A model 335 single loop temperature controller with cable to cryostat.

FAQs
Why is the sample pressure not going up at low temperature while increasing the gas membrane pressure?
At low temperature, the gas pressure into the membrane must be higher than at room temperature to see a change in sample pressure (a ruby shift).
To successfully increase the sample pressure when performing low temperature experiments, the following steps are necessary:
- Check the pressure of your helium supply cylinder to ensure that there is sufficient gas available for the gas membrane (120 bar or higher);
- Before cooling, at room temperature, slightly increase the sample pressure with the gas membrane (0.5 GPa to 1-2 GPa). The gas pressure in the membrane should help to increase the pressure at low temperature;
- Start cooling;
- Leave the gas membrane controller in manual mode to avoid constant pressure control on the membrane.
The helium pressure in the gas membrane will slowly decrease during cooling. The sample pressure should not decrease, but increase slightly due to the contraction of the mechanical parts of your DAC.
