When the system is properly mounted to
the wall and the table and properly
adjusted then the effect of vibrations
induced by the working compressor is
very small (almost negligible).
The broadening (rather no broadening!) is
fully reproducible and is well below 2%.
Such broadening has practically no effect
and in almost all cases can be ignored.
However, compare the linewidths
calculated in the same way!
The Displex system is virtually vibration
free!

Vibration Spectra of DMX-20 Interface.
Vibration level at the sample
is 3 Nanometers at 2.4 Hz.
The vibrations at the sample are in the range of 3-5 Nanometers at 2.4 Hz (60 Hz power supply). The vibrations from the
cooler are isolated from the sample mount. Additional care is needed to minimize vibrations to the table from the floor.
The picture shows the Displex and its interface. All items
showing stainless steel in the photo are modifications to
our JSM-5910 SEM. Please also note the published
papers on my website, which demonstrate CL results that
were acquired with this cooling system.
The sample temperature, is between 40 K and 50 K.

For maximum isolation proper mounting of the system is important. ARS offers a special ULV stand to isolate the ultra low
vibration cryostat from the vibrating components of the cooler and the floor vibrations.
The cryocooler stand can be adjusted for the proper height, this holds the cooler.
The cryostat is mounted on the low vibration table. which consists of a high mass granite block (User supplied), resting on 4 air
legs (optional ARS offering). Additional elastomeric isolators additional filter the unwanted frequencies from the floor to the
cryostat.
System can be tested by shutting off the cryocooler only and watching the vibration effect on the experiment.

DMX-20 can be direct mounted on the Cryocooler. The
vibrations at the sample will go up to 140 nm. It can be
useful if the sample has to be translated in XYZ.
The ARS Low Vibration Closed Cycle Cryostat consists of
two components:
1. The Closed Cycle Cryo-cooler determines the
sample temperature. Typical vibrations of this cooler
are 10-15 microns. The Cryocooler is shown in red
in the above sketch..
2.
The DMX-20 low vibration interface is not
mechanically connected to the cryocooler. The
thermal contact is through a helium exchange gas at
the bottom of the DMX-20. The system has a
sophisticated and patented heat transfer hardware at
the bottom of the cryocooler but there is no
mechanical contact.
The space between the Cryo-cooler and the DMX-20
is filled (static, not continuous flow) with helium gas.
3.
The soft rubber bellows contain the helium between
the DMX-20 and the Cryo-cooler. The bellows are at
room temperature and remain soft during operation,
thus preventing vibrations from being transmitted to
the DMX-20 and the sample.
