Abstract

An adiabatic demagnetization cryostat has been modified to include a second hyperfine enhanced nuclear cooling stage with PrCu₆ as the working material. The details of the desgin are given and the performance of the cryostat is discussed. The reliability of ⁶⁰CoFe and ⁶⁰CoNi nuclear orientation thermometers are critically evaluated.
