Research abstract
THE SEVERE ENVIRONMENT OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FREQUENTLY COMBINES CRYOGENICS, HIGH TEMPERATURES, HIGH VACUUM, AND HIGH RADIATION FLUENCES. A SENSITIVE, STABLE, ACCURATE, ANDEASY-TO-USE THERMOMETER FOR THE TEMPERATURE RANGE 4 TO 80 K (-269 DEGREES CENTIGRADE TO -193 DEGREES CENTIGRADE) ALSO RESISTANT TO IONIZING RADIATION IS NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE. THIN FILM ZIRCONIUM NITRIDE IS A CONDUCTING CERAMIC WITH GOOD POTENTIAL FOR PROVIDING SMALL, ROBUST, THERMALLY FAST RESISTANCE SENSORS NOT ONLY FOR THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF IMMEDIATE INTEREST, BUT BEYOND IT AS WELL. IN PHASE I ZIRCONIUM NITRIDE WILL BE REACTIVELY SPUTTERED IN A RESISTANCE THERMOMETER CONFIGURATION. THE PROJECT ALSO WILL TEST THE DEVICE'S THERMOMETRY CHARACTERISTICS AND ITS RESISTANCE TO GAMMA AND FAST NEUTRONRADIATION.
