Abstract
We have conducted precise magnetization measurements down to 0.5 K with a miniature 3He cryostat and a closed-cycle 3He gas handling system for a commercial superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer [Magnetic Property Measurement System (Quantum Design)]. The gas handling system contains two sorption pumps filled with granular charcoals. We pressurize 3He gas up to ambient pressure for the liquification at 3 K and then pump the vaper for cooling. The lowest sample temperature is ~ 0.5 K and it can persist for 34 hours. We demonstrate the performance of the system by observing the Meissner effect of aluminum below the superconducting transition temperature ~ 1 K. We also measured the magnetization curve of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 resulting in successful observation of the lower critical field at 0.5 K.
