From gthareja at stanford.edu Tue Jul 1 17:38:34 2008 From: gthareja at stanford.edu (gthareja at stanford.edu) Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:38:34 -0700 Subject: MUST READ: cascade temperature controller issue Message-ID: <20080701173834.67rxpbyqwgo8gs80@webmail.stanford.edu> dear cascade users all this condensation/cold chuck mess happening on the cascade chuck is unacceptable. It is hurting the CV and IV measurments seriously. 1. Please plan a 30 min overhead when using temperature controller. 2. when you come to system, the chuck should not be cold. please feel the chuck with a gloved hand. If it is cold or condensing, kill the previous user :). We have already suspended one bad user. 3. Nitrogen flows all the time when temperature controller (high or low T) is under use. 4. So you go to desired temperature (low/high) and measure devices. Then after finishing the measurement, you go to 110C and stay there for 10 min to boil off any condensation. Then you go to 40C (VERY IMPORTANT, THIS IS NOT 27C or RT - THIS IS WHERE EVERYONE IS MESSING UP) and rest for 10 min. Then turn off the temperature controller. let nitrogen flow for sufficient time (>10 min). If you ramp down to 27C, the temperature chiller starts and cools the ambient - causing condensation...which is BAD. 5. Record all temperature ramps on the log sheets happy measuring and lets be responsible users.

I managed to reproduce the problem and trace it back to the contact between the light bulb and its ceramic housing. It looks like there is some corrosion in the contact. Unfortunately, this is the same issue that came up a few months ago, and without Jim McVittie's help, we can't replace the housing. He's out for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I found the sweet spot in the connection and left the bulb there. I turned the light on and off a few times and it seemed ok. It may last for some time as long as it is not knocked or slammed. I'll check on the bulb on weekdays to make sure it's ok. This is the best solution for now, until Jim is back. On a related note, does anyone have any electrically conductive grease? For example, the compound used in spark plug wires? -- Mihir Tendulkar Applied Physics PhD Candidate Nishi Group, Stanford University From masatoi at stanford.edu Mon Jul 21 15:37:53 2008 From: masatoi at stanford.edu (masatoi at stanford.edu) Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:37:53 -0700 Subject: Cascade free from 4pm to 7pm In-Reply-To: <35236daf0807142124n32cf8bf2l3399dcea12aa7556@mail.gmail.com> References: <35236daf0807142124n32cf8bf2l3399dcea12aa7556@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <20080721153753.6c7te3yx44g08okc@webmail.stanford.edu> Sorry for the late notice.
