摘要
近年来,空间探测和凝聚态物理等领域对极低温制冷技术(<1K)的潜在需求越来越大。本文总结了绝热去磁制冷、稀释制冷与吸附制冷三种目前主要制冷方法的原理与优缺点,回顾了三类制冷技术的发展历程与应用现状,提出了绝热去磁制冷、稀释制冷与吸附制冷技术未来的发展趋势与研究重点。
In recent years,the potential demand for ultra-low temperature technology(< 1 K) has increased in space detection and condensed matter physics. The principles,advantages and disadvantages of the three main cooling methods of adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration,dilution refrigeration and adsorption refrigeration were summarized. The development history and application status of these three refrigeration technologies were reviewed and the development trend and future research focus were proposed.
