Abstract
The β-γ transition in oxygen has been realized with a reproducibility of ±0.2 mK. The cryostat and techniques used to produce sharp and reproducible transitions are described. The results suggest that the β-γ transition may be used to provide a further reference temperature below 100 K on the International Practical Temperature Scale.Keywords
