Abstract
We have devised a system for making accurate temperature measurements of a sample attached to a thermometer on a microbalance suspension. The thermometer is inductively coupled to the external measuring circuit so it does not disturb balance sensitivity. Using a carbon resistor thermometer and one calibration point at 4.2 K, we can reproduce temperature measurements between 4.2 and 30 K with a relative accuracy of ±0.1 K and an absolute accuracy in the range of 20–30 K of ±0.5 K. The system is presently used in susceptibility measurements but the method can be applied to other experiments with minor modifications.
