This fourth edition of the study book on cryogenics provides an up-to-date introduction to physics at low temperatures. The work is written by Guy White, a renowned expert affiliated with leading research institutions. The book is intended for scientists and engineers engaged in low-temperature physics and practical applications.
Low-temperature physics is a field that has become increasingly important and now plays a role in everyday life through satellite technology, medical diagnostics, and the transport of natural gas. This edition discusses the latest developments in measurement and control techniques, superconducting magnets, cryocoolers, and ultralow temperatures. The emphasis is on the availability of commercial instruments and technical data, making it suitable as a reference work for research and practical applications.
