A split cylindrical superconducting magnet system including two half magnets, each half magnet comprising superconducting magnet coils retained in an outer vacuum chamber, having a thermal radiation shield located between the magnet coils and the outer vacuum chamber, wherein the thermal radiation shield is shaped such that the axial spacing between thermal radiation shields of respective half magnets is greater at their internal diameter than at their outer diameter.

Storage systems and methods of manufacturing and using the same. A storage tank is provided with an inner vessel, an outer vessel, and a support system between the vessels. The support system may comprise a repeating pattern of openings that effectively lengthens the heat path between the inner and outer vessels.

An apparatus is provided that includes a first thermal device; a second thermal device: and a connection element configured to connect the first thermal device to the second thermal device.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus, comprising a first thermal device; a second thermal device; and a connection element configured to connect the first thermal device and the second thermal device.

Techniques facilitating low thermal conductivity support systems within cryogenic environments are provided. In one example, a cryostat can comprise a support rod and a washer. The support rod can couple first and second thermal stages of the cryostat. The washer can intervene between the support rod and the first thermal stage. The washer can thermally isolate the support rod and the first thermal stage.

Techniques facilitating efficient thermal profile management within cryogenic environments are provided. In one example, a cryostat can comprise a plurality of thermal stages intervening between a 4-Kelvin (K) stage and a Cold Plate stage. The plurality of thermal stages can include a Still stage and an intermediate thermal stage that provides additional cooling capacity for the cryostat. The intermediate thermal stage can be directly coupled mechanically to the Still stage via a support rod.

Techniques facilitating custom thermal shields for cryogenic environments are provided. In one example, a cryostat can comprise a thermal shield extending between a thermal stage and a base structure coupled to a bottom plate of an outer vacuum chamber. The thermal stage can be coupled to a top plate of the outer vacuum chamber. The thermal shield can provide access to a sample mounting surface encompassed within the thermal shield from a region external to the outer vacuum chamber via the top and bottom plates of the outer vacuum chamber.

Techniques facilitating multiple cryogenic systems sectioned within a common vacuum space are provided. In one example, a cryostat can comprise a plurality of thermal stages and a thermal switch. The plurality of thermal stages can intervene between a 4-Kelvin (K) stage and a Cold Plate stage. The plurality of thermal stages can include a Still stage and an intermediate thermal stage that can be directly coupled mechanically to the Still stage via a support rod. The thermal switch can be coupled to the intermediate thermal stage and an adjacent thermal stage. The thermal switch can facilitate modifying a thermal profile of the cryostat by providing a switchable thermal path between the intermediate thermal stage and the adjacent thermal stage.

Techniques facilitating transfer port systems for cryogenic environments are provided. In one example, an outer vacuum chamber of a cryostat can comprise a sidewall encompassing an inner chamber comprising a sample mounting surface. The sidewall can comprise a feedthrough port providing access to the sample mounting surface from a region external to the outer vacuum chamber.

The cryostat may include an inner vessel configured to accommodate one or more superconducting coils, an outer vessel encompassing the inner vessel, and a thermal shield configured between the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The thermal shield may include an internal cylinder having a first end and an external cylinder encompassing the internal cylinder, the external cylinder having a second end. The thermal shield may also include a seal head configured between the internal cylinder and the external cylinder, the seal head having a first edge and a second edge. The thermal shield may further include a connecting component including a plurality of connectors. Each of the plurality of connectors may be configured to connect the first end of the internal cylinder with the first edge of the seal head and/or the second end of the external cylinder with the second edge of the seal head.
