Blue series top-loading furnaces are regularly used at neutron facilities to carry out experiments at up to 1700◦C. The sample temperature is controlled using the indirect resistance heating method which consists in placing the sample inside a radiating cylindrical heater made from vanadium or niobium into which a current of up to 180 A circulates. To prevent the oxydation and deterioration of the heated elements, the sample, the heater and the heat shields are in a secondary vacuum which limits very much the cooling rate. We present an automated fast-cooling technique which reduces the cool-down time by a factor of 4 to 5 without impacting the lifetime of the heated elements. This method is now routinely used at the ILL and ISIS facilities and reduces very much beam time losses.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
