This study book by Guy White provides an up-to-date introduction to low-temperature physics, with a focus on physics at low temperatures and cryogenics. It is intended for scientists and engineers who combine hands-on applications and research. The content is based on expertise from within the CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory and other leading institutions.
The fourth edition covers recent developments in measurement and control techniques, superconducting magnets, cryocoolers, and ultralow temperatures. The emphasis is on available commercial instruments and technical data, which sets the book apart as a reference work in the field of low-temperature physics, essential for applications in satellite technology, medical diagnostics, and gas transport.
