Investigation of Noise in Solids at Low Temperatures.

Abstract

The theory of the noise which limits the measurements of strains in solids is presented. Measurements of quality factors of nearly perfect crystals are summarized together with the status of the development of procedures for observing the noise of very high quality factor crystals at low temperatures. Design calculations for a large 20 millikelvin cryostat are presented. (Author)
